This original blog post was created in 2020, when I first came up with this fun TP roll Christmas tree craft. Since then, every year it's been a viral Christmas craft hit! So I've updated this post to answer the most asked questions I get around making it and also put together a free guide to have on hand whenever you want to create it-- saving you time scouring the internet for this tutorial again! 

 

If you’ve got a pile of empty toilet paper rolls sitting around (or is it just my kids that hoard these for crafts?!)-- then you’ve already got the makings of the cutest little Christmas crafting project. These DIY toilet paper roll Christmas trees are one of those crafts that are simple, budget-friendly, so fun for kids (and adults), and still end up looking really cute and magical.

Around our house, this project started as a way to use up all the extra cardboard rolls my kids had gathered up, but now it’s become a Christmas tradition. The kids each make their own, we set them on the mantle, add some twinkle lights, and suddenly our living room feels cozy and festive in the easiest way!

Why You’ll Want The Guide:

Instead of bookmarking this post or scrolling Pinterest every year trying to find it again, you can keep the guide on hand—printed or saved on your computer—for whenever you need it. Inside, I’ve pulled together:

• A full photo tutorial that shows you each step (no guessing).
  
• A complete supply list with links to grab what you don’t already have.
  
• A page of paint color inspiration so your trees look pulled-together and beautiful. (I get asked about paint colors a lot so this makes it super easy!)
  
• I also added printable sheet of little stars and embellishments to cut out and make your trees extra festive.

And I've made it really pretty too ☺️

Basically-- it's everything you need, all in one place, so you can spend less time searching and more time creating! Just pop in your email here and I'll send it straight to your inbox now!

Final Steps:

Once you’ve got your trees finished, you can really make them part of your holiday home—line them on a shelf, mix them with those little Christmassy ceramic houses, or tuck fairy lights around them for that cozy glow. I love that each kid’s version has its own personality and together they make the cutest whimsical forest.

So go ahead, pull out a few rolls, download the guide, and start creating your own Christmas tree tradition.

Trust me, you’ll be glad you have it saved for years to come.
