Stars made from toilet paper rolls: Make festive ornaments easily
Toilet paper rolls are probably not the first material you reach for when it comes to making Christmas decorations. But did you know that you can make unique stars yourself from toilet paper rolls? Check out the ideas below and get to work. Whether hung on the Christmas tree or mantelpiece or used to decorate your presents, they definitely look impressive.
Make star-shaped ornaments out of toilet rolls with the children
The first craft idea is very simple and is perfect for children too. You will need toilet rolls, paints, brushes, rulers, scissors, pencils and string.
- First, paint the toilet paper rolls. If you want to create a unique, playful design, you can use different colors for the inside and outside.
- Once the rolls are dry, draw two parallel lines 1cm apart right in the middle of the toilet roll.
- Make small cuts on one side of the roll up to the first line to create 6-8 strips.
- Fold the strips and shape them into points with scissors.
- Repeat the steps with the second half of the toilet roll, making the same number of strips and being careful not to match the arrangement of the first row, to form a pretty star shape.
- Take a piece of twine, tie it around the ornament and secure it with a knot.
Glittering stars made from toilet paper rolls
When making a star, don't forget to use as much glitter and sequins as possible! This will make your Christmas ornament really sparkle.
To make this glittery star, you will first need to flatten a toilet paper roll. Then cut them into 5 slices. Glue the bottom of one disc to the bottom of the next disc until you have all 5 glued together. It's best to use a hot glue gun for this. Once the star is ready, it's time to decorate it for the holidays. You can paint it with glitter paint or cover it with glue and then sprinkle glitter on it. Finally, attach a rhinestone in the middle, tie a ribbon for hanging and you're done!
Simply make your own golden stars
These gold stars are very easy to make and you can quickly make a batch to decorate your Christmas tree with.
Cut the toilet roll lengthwise and lay it flat on the work surface. Draw a circle with a diameter of 7 cm on it and use it to form a star using a ruler. Cut this out and use it as a template to cut out more stars. Paint or spray the paper stars with paint and glue two together. Add a dab of glue to the back of the star and attach a clip for hanging.
Making 3D stars for Christmas: instructions
If you choose this idea, you can make stars of different sizes using 1cm or 2cm wide strips.
Flatten the toilet paper roll and cut it into slices. For each 3D star you need 3-4 strips of the desired size. Cut out a small triangle on either end of each strip and stack them on top of each other. Add some glue where the strips touch to hold them in place. Thread a string through the star and knot the ends.
Decorated with sequins
These simple stars are not only suitable as ornaments for the Christmas tree, but also for creating a Christmas garland. If you choose the garland, you can combine these stars with any of the previous ideas to create an interesting design. Cut vertical slits in a toilet roll and fold the resulting strips backwards. Then decorate them with sequins, beads, buttons and rhinestones according to your preferences.
Beautiful stars made from cardboard rolls
For these beautiful stars you will need 3 toilet paper rolls, a stapler, scissors and hanging string.
- Take a toilet roll and flatten it.
- Then press the edges inward to form a rhombus, flatten again and fold the edges tightly.
- Repeat the previous steps with the other side of the toilet roll and then with the remaining two rolls.
- Fold all three rolls in half and staple them together at the top.
- Then place two rolls next to each other and staple them together at the top in the same way.
- Take the third roll and attach it to the other two.
- Unfold the star and staple it at the tips.
- Decorate it with artificial snow or glitter according to your preferences.
