Supplies Needed to Make A Santa Craft Using Toilet Paper Rolls
How to Make This Fun And Festive Santa Craft:
Step 1
Paint the toilet paper roll with red paint. You may need to do a couple of coats. Set aside to dry.
Step 2
While the toilet paper roll dries, cut a circle roughly the size of a 50 cent piece out of the tan foam paper. This will be used for Santa face.
Step 3
Now cut out a beard out of the white felt paper.
Step 4
Assemble Santa’s face by using glue to attach white felt beard, red pom pom for the nose, and two googly eyes.
Step 5
While the face dries, cut out a triangle shape from the red felt paper for his hat.

Step 7
Now glue the hat to the top of Santa’s face then glue the entire face and hat to the top of the red toilet paper roll.
Step 8
The last thing we need to do is make Santa’s belt. Cut a thin strip from the back foam paper. Make sure it is long enough to wrap around the toilet paper roll.
Step 9
Now cut a small square out of the yellow foam paper for the belt buckle. Be sure to cut a smaller square out of the middle belt buckle piece so that you just have a yellow square border.
Step 10
Finally, glue the black strip around the toilet paper roll on the lower part of the roll underneath Santa’s face.
Step 11
Then glue the belt buckle onto the black part right in the middle.
Step 12
Let glue dry and then you’re all done.
