Christmas Ceiling Pendants - Craft Tutorial

11:45 AM

We made these by collecting toilet paper rolls for a couple of weeks. Each toilet paper roll makes one ceiling pendant. This is a super frugal craft that is fun for any age.

Need: Toilet paper rolls, Christmas ribbon, hot glue/glue gun, glitter or paint,

Cut toilet paper rolls into about 10 pieces each, have fun coming up with different designs. In the collage above are some ideas for different designs that we came up with. When you have your layout hot glue the pieces together.
When you have all the pendants put together you can go ahead a decorate your pendants with glitter, paint, gems, ribbons, etc. Let dry overnight.
Tie different lengths of Christmas ribbon and staple the ribbons to your ceiling in a staggering design for depth.

I hope you have fun making these little whimsical Christmas pendants...

Merry Christmas!
