How to Make Christmas Bauble Using Toilet Rolls

Step 1:

Get one toilet roll, cut it, and lay it flat. Draw 2 circles 2.56 in diameter, then a straight line 1/4″ from the long edge. Cut them out.

Take another piece of roll and repeat the same process except for the line. Instead of cutting a straight line on the edge, use crinkle-cut scissors to make two strips.

You will need 6 circles for the top and 6 pieces for the bottom for a total of 12 circles.

Step 2:

Fold each circle in half twice. Glue on the center edge to keep them folded.

Step 3:

Make the top pieces. Get one piece of a quarter circle, then add glue on one straight edge. Place another one on top. Repeat with the remaining 4 pieces then glue the ends together.

Repeat with the bottom circles.

Step 4:

Hot glue the top and bottom together.

Step 5:

Glue the 2 crinkle-cut strips all around the middle. Decorate it with yarn. See the photo below for reference.

Step 6:

Take a piece of yarn and tie the ends together. Take the strip, then wrap it on the tied end. Glue it on the top of the ornament.
