Materials

  • 8-10 toilet paper rolls (10 cm each)
  • Acrylic paint in assorted colors (about 10-15 ml per color)
  • Construction paper or cardstock (A4 sheets)
  • Scissors and craft knife
  • Glue or hot glue gun
  • Paintbrushes (medium and fine tips)
  • Black marker for outlines and details
  • Optional: LED tea lights, glitter, or stickers

Instructions

  • Paint each toilet paper roll with bright colors. Mix and layer shades to make each house distinct. Let them dry completely.
  • Cut out door and window shapes using scissors or a craft knife. For extra detail, outline them with black marker or paint.
  • Create roofs by cutting circles or triangles from construction paper. Form them into cones or slanted roof shapes, then glue them on top of the rolls.
  • Add decorative elements like dots, stars, vines, or brick lines with smaller brushes or markers.
  • If desired, place an LED light inside each roll to make them softly glow at night.
