Don’t worry if you did not find the theme you were looking for! Just ask me, or I will ultimately extend this discussion to many more NEW toilet paper roll crafts, such as flower, movie character, and even fruit-themed ones. Also, I will add toilet paper roll pencil holders. So, be sure to stay updated with the discussion!
Suggestion #1: Lion Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Beginning with the easiest and quickest toilet paper craft! Let’s DIY this mini and oh-so cute baby lion buddy out of an empty toilet paper roll, colored paper, and a FREE printable template. The template also includes a cut-and-paste version for the younger kids that is pre-colored, just like kids use crayons.
Otherwise, cut the parts from colored cardstock and glue the face and eyes to the mane, and the belly to the body. Wrap and tape the body around a toilet paper roll. Use glue or glue dots to attach the head and tail. Be sure to have a half roll for this desk buddy.
Suggestion #2: Toilet Paper Roll Airplane Craft
Learn how to make a PERFECT mini airplane toy using a cardboard roll and craft sticks. This also requires squeezing one side of the toilet paper, which is unique to it and a really fun part. Kids can DIY this on the 4th of July and Memorial Day in red and blue or just because!
Paint a toilet paper roll in blue, two large craft sticks (wings) in red, and two mini sticks (propellers) again in red. Glue the large sticks to the top and bottom of the roll. Glue the mini sticks as an ‘X’, add a pony bead, and attach to the front. Add foam fins and pipe cleaner wheels.
Suggestion #3: Toilet Paper Roll Bear Craft
Looking for camping crafts? Be sure to make this oh-so cute kawaii baby bear out of a toilet paper roll, cardstock, and a FREE printable template. The way the arms are attached, and the eyes are designed, this is definitely the cutest bear craft!
To make this bear, print the template and cut out the pieces. Glue the belly and arms to the body cardstock. Wrap and tape the paper around a toilet paper roll. Glue on the eyes, nose, and mouth. Draw inner ears, then glue the head to the tube.
Suggestion #4: Toilet Paper Roll Dog Craft
This toilet paper roll KAWAII pup craft is a Perfect 3D sitting puppy with the front legs also glued. The FREE printable that you can unlock at the end of the post template for all the parts.
Unlike many of the toilet paper roll decor crafts, it looks natural, as you don’t have to compromise the shape of the body. Wanna craft one?
Suggestion #5: Beluga Whale Toilet Paper Roll Craft
A sea creature toilet paper craft, but other than whale and pufferfish? DIY this simple and cute paper roll Beluga with a free printable template. I can easily rank it as the MOST STRESS-RELEIVING toilet paper craft buddy. This won’t stand on a table, so I recommend attaching a stick to the side to turn it into a puppet.
To make this craft, print and cut the beluga template. Wrap and tape the body around a cardboard tube using white and blue cardstock. Fold and glue the flippers to the sides. Finish by gluing the water piece inside the top.
Suggestion #6: Toilet Roll Ninja Craft
These toilet paper ninjas are so action-packed and adorable that kids won’t help but want to make one immediately. I like the kawaii eyebrows and traditional ninja expressions drawn on. It is kinda funny that they have straw swords!
To make toilet rolls, first draw a small eye slot on the toilet roll cores. Use paint to color the body, leaving the eye area bare. You can draw that in two ways. Then, use a black marker to draw eyes and eyebrows inside the slot. Finally, tie straws around the middle as belts and weapons.
Suggestion #7: Killer Whale Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Similar to Suggestion #5: Beluga Whale, let’s make a funny, cute killer whale (dolphin, actually!) toilet-paper-roll puppet. Again, there is a FREE printable template to assemble it. I like the way the face is made for this whale, and it ends up REALLY CUTE.
To make this orca, cut out the template pieces from colored cardstock. Glue the belly, eyes, and eye spots onto the body. Tape the paper around a toilet paper roll. Finally, fold and glue the flippers to the sides.
Suggestion #8: Dinosaur Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Finally, we have a craft that uses a toilet paper roll horizontally and as a secondary material. So, let’s craft this smiling dinosaur toilet paper roll craft finished with body round spikes, kawaii eyes, and round body spots all around.
Go with the traditional green, purple, and yellow or blue, orange, and yellow; both will look perfect. Luckily, there is a FREE printable template, too, so have fun with it! With the legs unlike all the crafts discussed above, kids will love to have one at their study table.
Suggestion #9: Toilet Paper Roll Octopus Craft
Tissue paper roll octopus FEW of the first paper roll projects that pop up in mind. This time, I have this simple, smiling octopus made using orange pepper, googly eye stickers, and glue, in addition to a toilet paper roll.
Just cut eight hand-curled paper strips and attach them to the base to make the arms. You can also make a 2nd version that has BIG eyes and a wider smile to make it funny!
Suggestion #10: Hedgehog Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Time for the cutest hedgehog craft I have covered so far, and it has a FREE printable template. So, be sure to craft this toilet paper roll hedgehog buddy finished with a CUTE smile and big eyes. Looks much like Sonic, so maybe you can also make it in blue.
Just wrap the tube in brown paper and glue on a face, small ears, and tiny paws with the help of a template. The most fun part is gluing the spike cutouts, and they look really adorable.
Suggestion #11: Ladybug Toilet Paper Roll Craft
This project uses a recycled cardboard tube as the base to construct a three-dimensional ladybug. The process involves layering paper components to create the insect’s body, wings, and facial features.
Using a toilet paper roll, colored cardstock, glue, and a ladybug template, you will wrap the tube in paper and attach a circular head. The wings are made from two large circles with black spots glued on, which are then secured to the back of the roll to give the craft its characteristic appearance.
Suggestion #12: Toilet Paper Roll Rocket Craft
This activity involves repurposing a cardboard cylinder into a space shuttle model. The construction focuses on adding geometric shapes to a central tube to represent the various parts of a rocket ship.
Using a toilet paper roll, cardstock, and scissors, you will create a cone for the top and triangular fins for the base. After covering the roll in paper or paint, the components are glued into place along with small circular cutouts to represent windows, resulting in a vertical rocket structure.
