How to Make Toilet Paper Tube Carolers

Christmas caroling is a Christmas tradition for many generations. Make festive Christmas carolers a part of your holiday decor when you make these cute toilet paper tube carolers. Save your toilet paper tubes to make three of these cute musicians, or save more and make an entire choir.

Things You'll Need

• Toilet paper tubes
• Paint
• Paintbrush
• Skin-colored construction paper
• Black marker
• Pink pencil
• Glue stick
• Colored construction paper
• Wrapping paper printed with musical notes
• Scissors
• Three baby socks
• Yarn

Instructions

1. Paint each toilet paper tube with a different color of craft paint. Use paints that match your existing Christmas decorations. Set the painted tubes aside to dry.

2. Draw and cut out three oblong face shapes from the construction paper. Draw the facial features with a fine-tipped black marker. Draw the eyes as sideways C's, and the mouth a big O that is colored in. Use the pink pencil to give the faces rosy cheeks.

3. Cut out three sets of mittens from a different color of construction paper. Cut the music printed paper into three rectangles. Fold each rectangle in half to form the music for the carolers.

4. Attach the faces to the top of the toilet paper tubes with a glue stick. Glue the mittens to either side of the sheet music and then attach the mittens to the carolers.

5. Trim the cuff off of three socks, throw the foot portion away. Slip one cuff on the top of each tube to make the stocking cap. Tie the top of the cap off with a piece of yarn.
