Toilet Paper Roll Christmas Trees

If you’re looking for a simple and charming holiday craft for kids, try making Toilet Paper Roll Christmas Trees with just one recycled tube. It’s a wonderfully easy way to turn an everyday item into a cute, colorful decoration. Children love seeing how a plain toilet paper roll can transform into a festive tree, and the finished piece looks lovely displayed on a table or shelf as part of your Christmas décor.

To make this craft, gently press the tube to fold it in half. Then draw the outline of a Christmas tree, making sure to leave about 2 cm of extra space at the bottom. Cut away the outside areas while keeping a small section on each side uncut—this little hinge helps the front and back stay connected and pop into a tree shape. Once the outline is ready, paint it with watercolors and watch the tree come to life.

For decorating, kids can add pom-poms, glitter glue, or small bits of colored paper. Because the tree is tiny, stickers can be an easier and more fun option for young artists. It’s a quick, creative, and eco-friendly project that brings holiday joy to any crafting time.
