A simple ornament

happy sunday!  my family literally did nothing today- we didn't even make it to church.  infact we never got out of our pj's.  my hubby and i didn't feel that well when we woke up this morning and decided to stay home and take it easy. finally around 5 we started to perk up a little and got a few things done around the house.  i was able to make this little guy:

isn't he cute?  i can't take credit for the idea of it tho.  last week i went to my friend's house for a playdate and she was making these cute little guys.  she found it on pinterest.  all it is is a tp roll.  they look just as nice plain or dressed up.  your kids would love to make these.  i found some scraps in my bin and covered the outside of the roll.  then added a simple stamp to it (which had never been inked up) and added a little button.  took me about 15 mins to make- my kind of crafty!  here are few more views- the paper is red and white (from ctmh elemental)

  4. What a great craft with tp rolls. I have a few out that I was going to send with my daughter to school but they don't need anymore now. This will be something fun we can make at home together now. Your ornament turned out great!

  7. Is a tp roll a polite way of saying toilet paper? LOL. I am presuming that's what they are, but what an excellent way of recyling them without having to put them in the bin!

    Thanks for joining us at ABC for our Clear It Out challenge.
