TP Drum Ornament
Use these free directions to create a neat drum ornament using a toilet tisse roll. A great Christmas tree ornament or gift.

Materials Needed:
  • Toilet Tissue Roll
  • Felt or Fabric
  • Thin Ribbon
  • Toothpicks
  • Tiny Pom-poms
  • Glue
Instructions:
Cut the toilet tissue roll in half. Cut a piece of felt to fit around the outside of one of the half rolls. Trace around one of the round ends of the toilet tissue rolls onto a piece of white felt; cut this circle out. Cut 6 more pieces of ribbon, each one should be 2 1/2 inches long.

Glue the first piece of felt you cut around the toilet tissue roll. Glue the 6, 2 1/2-inch pieces of ribbon around the toilet tissue roll to form 3 'V' shapes that touch at the top.

Dab some glue around one of the round edges of the toilet tissue roll. Center the white circle on the glue.

Cut 3 more pieces of ribbon, each about 8 inches long. Fold one into a loop and glue the ends onto the top edge of the toilet tissue roll for a hanger. Glue the other 2 around the top and bottom edges of the toilet tissue roll. Trim any extra ribbon.

Cut off the pointy ends of the toothpicks; paint them black. Once the paint is dry, glue the 2 tiny pom-poms onto one end of each of the toothpicks. Glue the pom-pom side of the toothpicks onto the white, felt top of the drum so they look like drum sticks.
