TP Roll Chrissy Cards
Time to spread some festive cheer with these up-cycled Chrissy cards!
Ages: 4+
You will need:
⋒ TP or kitchen rolls
⋒ Scissors
⋒ Paints
⋒ Textas or paint pens
⋒ PVA glue
⋒ Cotton wool balls
⋒ Corks
⋒ Blank cards or cardstock
Gather your rolls & using your scissors, cut diagonally up then down, creating a triangle shape. You can create 2-3 triangles per tp roll (see picture).
Paint your triangles! Red for Santa hats, green for trees.
For the Christmas tree: Cut a cork in half & glue at the base of your triangle to create the tree stump.
For the Santa hat: Tear a cotton ball in half, rolling one half into a ball & the other into a long “woolly slug” shape. Use your PVA to stick them in place as the pom pom & hat trim.
Apply glue along the edges of the back of your hat or tree & stick in the centre of your blank card. Hold in place while it begins to dry.
Add details using textas or paint pens, including ornaments, holly, a festive message, or perhaps even Santa’s face!
These would also look great on gift bags! You could also make mini versions for gift tags!
Ho, ho, have fun!
