Angels made out of them are really cute...
Paint face on one end, and the rest of the roll white...
glue hair on and halo.
Wings cut out of white poster board.
Also cut a square piece of poster board, fold in half and write Angel
to do list...etc.
I used a star hole puncher and put a star in my book.
Looks cuter than it sounds.

Also made Christmas Caroler's from them.
Same idea... paint face on, paint roll one color and use felt to cut a
scarf and wrap around the head after you have applied the hair.
You can use cotton balls for ear muffs and have scarf go over these.

Fix a book out of poster board and write silent night...
or Away in A Manger...
Make kid Carolers by cutting the roll inhalf.
Add a cap, for boys and scarf for girls.

You can make a Christmas centerpiece by making a family of Carolers and
place them on a sturdy piece of cardboard.. add a small tree or make one
from a medium size pinecone glued to a clear plastic cup.
The cup will be the trees stand.
Spray paint green and decorate.

Use a hole puncher and colored paper to make the tree some lights..
The little round pieces you punch out can be glued around on the pinecone
petals to make the tree lights.
Add a red bow.
Add Angel hair for snow to the cardboard around Carolers... or stuffing.
Add glitter to it to make it sparkle.
These are really cute.
You can use this idea and make your Carolers out of coke cans also.

Subject: Re: toilet paper rolls = scissor holders

They make great scissor holders for kitchen, sewing/craft spaces, utility
areas. Can also hold other tools with handles.

Decorate with wallpaper, contact paper, paint, etc., as desired.
Make a handle from braided twine, yarn, etc.
They are very durable and can be coordinated with fabric or paint
to fit the areas' deco!

We store our extension cords in them.
Sometimes we have to measure the cords havin forgotten the length--
then write the length on the outside of the roll.
Wrap the cord neatly in 4"- 10" wraps, & put in the tube.
It helps to keep the "junk drawer" a little neater!

To make a table centerpiece for Christmas,
wrap each of four toilet paper rolls in Christmas wrapping paper or old
sheet music, tucking and glueing paper into the ends.
Stuff all ends with glue and moss.
Lay two rolls side by side.
Put other two rolls on top and tie all together with a ribbon.
Glue moss on top and add a few sprigs of real or artificial pine and a
red bird.
To make this a little heavier, you can stuff all tubes with newspaper.

For a Halloween treat stuff with candy,
wrap in black tissue leaving about 1 1/2 inches of tissue on the sides tie
the ends with cute ribbon like skeleton or pumkin ribbon...
then glue 2 eyes on the front draw a mouth and teeth for vampire bat
crackers,spread the tissue on the ends out so it will look like wings..
this is my treat this year for trick or treaters last year cans ....
