I saw a post on toilet tube crafts. They look like they were made by a professional. I thought we'd try it out. Here are our kid versions. We added a mouse, penguin, tree, and an angel.

Easy Toilet Tube Cardboard  Holiday Ornaments.

Cut your toilet or paper towel tubes in half. I cut up the middle and then cut in half. Your cut won't show. Tape together. Cover the cardboard with felt, fabric, or construction paper and decorate to your hearts content!

What great Christmas tree decorations and ornaments to fill with goodies from Santa, but they also make good party favors or table placeholders too!
