Wrap each toilet paper roll with colored craft paper like green for the elf, white for the snowman, red for Santa, brown for the reindeer, and black for the penguin. Secure the paper using glue or double-sided tape.
Cut and glue small paper shapes to build faces and outfits such as triangles for hats, circles for buttons, and ovals for bellies. For Santa, use cotton for his beard and hat trim; for the reindeer, cut antlers from brown paper.
Add a small orange triangle for the snowman’s nose and a red pom-pom for Rudolph’s. Draw eyes and smiles with a black marker.
Make accessories like scarves, belts, and collars from leftover colored paper. A purple scarf for the snowman or a gold belt for Santa adds extra charm.
Line up your finished characters together. Their playful expressions and bright colors will make any shelf or windowsill look merry and alive.
