Simple Paper Towel Roll Crafts

By Ken Roberts 22 June, 2023 2 mins read

Reusing paper towels is an excellent way to recycle. You can make different types of crafts from them. You can make beautiful arrangements of flowers or a vase that resembles an airplane. These crafts are very simple and easy to make for any occasion.

A simple craft for nutcrackers

Make a nutcracker costume for your child using two strips made from paper towel rolls. One strip can be used for the head of the nutcracker, while another can be used as a shirt. For the eye and mouth, choose contrasting colors. You can glue the strips in place once they are dried. Cotton balls can be used for hair and beard.

Younger children can use a low heat glue gun. To avoid burns, keep a bowl filled with ice water close by. Be sure to use different sized rolls of cardboard. Toilet paper rolls are best for shorter nutcrackers. Wrapping paper rolls or paper towel can make taller ones. Black lines can be used to draw the legs if your child prefers a more symmetrical nutcracker. Once the nutcracker's dried, varnish the item before attaching the details.

Nutcrackers are easy

Use an empty toilet roll to make an easy paper towel-roll nutcracker craft. The nutcracker is easily coloured using markers or paint. Once the nutcracker has been painted, you can glue on details such as eyes or mouth. If you would like to create a King Rat, you can paint your soldiers in various colours. Make sure to use contrasting colours to give the nutcracker a festive look.

The next step is to cut strips of newspaper into hats and shirts. One of the strips will be used for the hat; the other one will be used for the shirt. Cut to size with a contrast color. Once you have glued the shirt, add googly ears and mouth. If you wish, you can add buttons to your shirt with a dark marker. To enhance the detail, you can add belts made of paper and feathers after the nutcracker has been completed.

Flying easy

You will need a paper towel rolling roll and scissors to make this easy paper towel roll airplane craft. Make a cone shape from the end of the paper towel roll, and attach it to the tube by using maskingtape. You can paint the tape to blend in better. You can cut another slit into the tube slightly higher than the one in the center. Repeat the process on the other end. The slits should all be the same in size and just large enough to allow straws to pass through.

Next, create wings. You'll want to attach the wings and propeller to the front and back ends. Stability will be achieved by making sure that the wings cross through the tube. To make wheels, glue the smaller white circles to the blacker ones.
