Who Says Only a Star Can be a Tree Topper?

Although we can agree that toilet paper has saved us countless times, it isn’t what you think this is about this time! 
Such a witty label for a can craft, don’t you think?
Kitchen Mama thinks so, too!

Things you’ll need:

-Green sparkly construction paper

-An empty can

-White, brown, and blue felt 

-Multi-colored modeling clay

-Markers/pen

-1 bottle cap 

-1 skewer

-4 magnets

-butter knife

🥫Can

MATERIALS: brown and dark blue felt, marker/pen, hot glue gun

  1. Measure the height of the can.
  2. Cut out enough blue felt to cover the can.
  3. Wrap the blue felt around it tightly.
  4. Use the hot glue gun to glue down the felt. 

🎄Christmas Tree

MATERIALS: green glittery paper, white felt, hot glue gun

  1. Wrap the green sparkly paper into a cone shape. 
  2. Cut off excess from the bottom.
  3. Glue the edges down to keep the cone shape.
  4. Cut a thin strip of white felt and wrap it around the tree.

Clay Ornaments

MATERIALS:  red, white, and blue clay, hot glue gun

  1. Cut the clay into ½ inch pieces.
  2. Use the clay and roll them into tiny balls. 
  3. Hot glue the clay balls (ornaments) to the tree. Remember to not put a lot of hot        glue as it can easily melt the clay.

🧻Toilet Paper Tree Topper

MATERIALS: White felt, small-cap, a black marker, hot glue gun

  1. Use a ruler to measure the width of your cap. 
  2. Cut a strip of white felt that is the width of your cap and 12 inches in length. 
  3. Use a black marker/sharpie to draw dotted lines.  This represents the toilet paper      squares.
  4. Glue your toilet paper tree topper to the top of your tree. You might need to add a      stick in the back to support your tree topper.
  5. Let the felt hang down the tree.
