Hey there, craft lovers! With the holiday season just around the corner, I’ve got the perfect way for you to upcycle those empty toilet paper rolls into festive decorations that’ll make your home feel merry and bright.
Santa Claus Figures
Create jolly Santa figures with a red paint coat and cotton balls for his iconic beard. It’s a tradition in my house to make a new Santa every year and compare them to the older ones.
Angel Figures
Create angel figures with wings made from doilies for an elegant touch. These angels always bring a serene vibe to my Christmas decor.
Holiday Candle Holders
Paint rolls and add a little dish on top to create candle holders. They look stunning when lit and scattered across the table.
Reindeer Sleighs
Make a reindeer sleigh with rolls and cardboard. This craft is a favorite with the kiddos, especially when we fill it with small candy gifts.
Rudolph the Reindeer
Why not make a Rudolph with a red pom-pom nose and twig antlers? It’s a fun way to get the kids involved in decorating.
Snowflake Window Decor
Craft delicate snowflakes from rolls to hang in your windows. I love how they catch the light and create a wintry atmosphere indoors.

Use toilet paper rolls as bases for Advent candles by wrapping them in festive paper and adding a faux flame on top. They make a lovely centerpiece for my holiday table.

Paint rolls as nutcracker soldiers to guard your mantel. These little soldiers add a classic and charming touch to my holiday setup.
Festive Creatures
Let your imagination run wild by creating festive creatures like penguins or polar bears. These quirky additions are always a hit at our holiday parties.

Transform rolls into gnome gift boxes with felt hats and beards. These little guys are perfect for holding holiday treats.
Candy Cane Holders
Paint rolls red and white to mimic candy canes and use them as fun utensil holders at your holiday dinner. It’s such a cute detail that guests always notice.
Snowmen Family
Paint your rolls white and add some colorful buttons and a fabric scarf to craft a snowman family. My niece loves adding the little carrot nose with orange paper!
