Owls are the craze. Owls from recycled toilet rolls and add to a self made wreath

How many toilet or paper towel tubes do you throw in the trash a day, a week a year? I just wanted to make a small dent and find a way to recycle a few with a trendy craze going on right now! OWLS! I always have a box full of trinkets and leftover craft projects that I hate to toss out. So with a little  paint, wiggle eyes, and trinkets I made a Christmas wreath to put on my “naked” door in the kitchen that leads out to the garage for a pop of holiday color. Do you like owls? What wreath have you put together with your trinkets? 

empty toilet rolls

Just cut them at various heights and fold down one end so they stand up like this.

Painted tubes

I painted them bright colors. I added 3 coats to mine.

embellish with trinkets, wiggly eyes , pieces of fabric for beaks and wings and spray with a sealant.

HO HO HOOT

I had some left over red burlap and put it through the printer with the words “HO HO HOOT” to go with the theme.

Owl wreath

I used a wired rim, wired ribbon, left over ornaments and some word phrases to put this all together.

  1. I prepared many toilet paper rolls for another project but became very ill. Now that I am on the mend I think I will make these. Should be fun with the grand kids.
