How to Create Adorable Toilet Paper Pumpkins - Fun Fall Project
Who doesn't want a roll of toilet paper disguised as a pretty pumpkin?
I actually made these as part of a housewarming gift, but anyone can use these in their bathroom to add a touch of the season if they so wish.
For a cheap, quick, and easy DIY project, these Toilet Paper Pumpkins are the way to go!
So, grab your loo rolls, scrap fabric, craft paper, and a few other supplies, and let's get started with this fun fall toilet paper roll craft!

1. Gather Your Fabric🎃
Begin by cutting a decent-sized square out of your scrap fabric. Make sure it's big enough to wrap around the toilet paper roll on each side.
2. Position the Toilet Paper Roll
Place your toilet paper roll in the center of the square of fabric. Test out the size of the square to make sure all sides will wrap around the roll.
3. Create the Pumpkin Pleats
Slowly lift one side of the fabric and tuck it into the center of the toilet paper roll. As you do this, create nice pleats. Repeat this process all around the roll until all the fabric is tucked in.
These pleats will give your toilet paper roll pumpkin the distinctive ridges that real pumpkins have.
4. Craft the Pumpkin Stem
Take some craft paper and cut it down the middle width ways.
Crumple up the paper, making sure it's wrinkled.
Roll one-half of the craft paper, allowing some of it to poke out, creating a spiral effect.
Stuff the stem into the center of the toilet paper roll. This will act as the stem of the pumpkin.
5. Add the Finishing Touch
To complete your pumpkin project, use hot glue to attach a dried leaf or two to the stem. This will give your creation that authentic pumpkin look.
Feel free to repeat these steps with different fabric patterns to create a variety of toilet paper roll pumpkins.

You could load these in your bathroom as spares, or you could use them around the house as decor for the season. Way cheaper than buying fake ones from the store.

I just machine embroidered on my toilet paper; simple designs, maybe three minutes each and wrapped cellophane. So much fun and unexpected

Can we see it?
