Paper Towel Roll Ornament

By Christel M. Hoydic November 13, 2020

Need a holiday project for your scout troop, classroom or kiddos on the weekend? These paper towel roll ornaments look so pretty hanging on the tree that no one will guess you used a recycled household find to create them!

You’ll need:

  • Empty paper towel roll (one for each ornament)
  • Paint or markers
  • Glitter and/or other embellishments (sequins, stickers, etc.)
  • Glue


And then you'll:

  1. Cut the paper towel roll into 6 even strips (see picture for guide).
  2. Paint or color as desired. Christmas colors will look beautiful on the tree, while painting them white will make ornaments that resemble snowflakes. 
  3. Add glitter and/ or embellishments and let dry.  
  4. When each piece is dry, glue together by placing a little dab of glue onto the tip of each piece and attach together.  
  5. Add a ribbon to hang and you have a pretty ornament to adorn your tree or window.
