Last Christmas, we made Christmas ornament stamps out of potatoes. These were a big hit with my daughter. She loves stamping projects & we are a big fan of potato stamps. I have seen many people using toilet paper rolls as stamps by bending them into various shapes such as leaves, hearts & pumpkins and I thought what a wonderful idea.
We used our tubes to form two different shaped ornaments. I cut one tube and bent it to form the top of the ornament.
I used a glue gun to glue the tops in place like shown. Make sure the top piece is flush with the tube.
The ornaments are then ready to stamp with. I cut out a Christmas tree shape for Mai to stamp on, but she was not interested in the tree. She just wanted to stamp on a plain piece of paper.
Mai did not want to use the tree, but mommy did. I stamped the ornaments on the tree & let the paint dry.
I used paint & glitter to decorate the ornaments & my daughter chose to use scissors & cut hers out for a project of her own.
Thank you as always for stopping by. Please follow us on Facebook as well.

I totally did something like this when I was a kid and my mom actually just found it among a whole bunch of crafts she saved from my brother and I from back then. Totally want to try this with my girls now 😉
I have cut-outs of stamped ornaments everywhere. Lol! They were fun
