Toilet Paper Tube Birdhouse Christmas Ornament
While shopping in Tuesday Mornings one day last year, I saw the cutest ornament that I promised myself I would attempt to make myself. Everything I used to make this glittery toilet paper tube birdhouse Christmas ornament I had on hand.

Materials to Make Bird House Christmas Ornaments
Materials:
- Toilet paper tube
- Vintage music paper
- Cardboard (for base)
- Cardstock (for roof)
- Toothpick
- Small piece of scrapbook paper (for the flag)
- Hot glue gun
- Mod Podge
- Glitter
- Craft paint (I used black)
- Fine gold cord (for hanging)
How to Make Birdhouse Ornaments
(6) Cover your shortened toilet paper tube with decorative paper (I used vintage music) OR paint it.
(7) Cut out a small archway, about an inch or so from the bottom of your tube
.
(8) Take one of your card stock half circles and glue the ends together (as shown) to create a cone. Clamp to hold while drying.
(9) Paint or glitter your cone. I painted one black and applied glitter (as you can see above), but I didn’t like the black roof with the black base, so I made another one and this time I didn’t paint it. Rather I covered it with pink glitter.
(10) Once the cone is dry, adhere it to your tube using a glue gun. Run a bead of glue around the top edge of the tube. Set the roof down, press, and allow it to
dry.
(11) Adhere the base using your glue gun, running a bead of glue around the bottom edge of the tube and pressing it onto your base.
(12) Cut a small triangle out of coordinating scrapbook paper, glue it to a toothpick and insert it into the tip of your cone.
(13) Glue a loop of fine cord to the top of your cone and you’re done!
I’m kind of in love with how it turned out. What do you think?
