The new Disney Nutracker Movie is going to be a holiday favorite in my house and we are already preordered for our copy! The movie inspired us to make this fun Nutracker Movie Toilet Paper Roll craft, and we hope you enjoy it as we do!
He’s a cute little guy, and you could do a few different sized ones with paper towel tubes as well, or even cap off the ends and hide surprises inside!
Nutracker Movie inspired Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Supplies
– cardboard toilet paper roll
– craft or construction paper
– black pen or marker
– scissors
– craft glue
– pair googly eyes
Directions:
1. Begin by cutting a thick strip of craft paper to act as the pants of the Nutcracker. Wrap the strip around the cardboard roll and secure with glue.
2. Now layer a second strip on top of it to act as the shirt. Use a contrasting color, cut, fit, and glue in place.
3. Leave the space above the shirt open. This is where you will add your googly eyes and use your black pen or marker to make eyebrows, a mustache, and a mouth as shown.
4. Embellish further by using the marker or pen to make buttons on the nutcracker’s shirt.
5. Add a hat. Simply cut additional strips of paper and wrap them around the top of the roll. Secure with glue.
Feel free to embellish further with paper belts, buttons, or feathers. When everything is dry your nutcracker is ready to be displayed.
I love love love this Nutracker Pop Up Book! I have seen it in person and it is a beautiful gift idea! You could surprise your favorite someone with movie tickets to see the film rolled up in the homemade Nutcracker and wrap the book to go along with it. How sweet!?
Googly eyes make me so happy. They are so much fun! I have a few giant pairs that I’ll put places in the house or yard every so often, just for fun. This reminds me that I have some edible googly eyes for our Elf on the Shelf to have some fun with…I’ve been waiting a ridulously time to use them since discovering them…This may send our elves to elf jail!
