Materials Needed for Toilet Paper Roll Flower Crafts
- Empty toilet paper rolls – you can also use kitchen paper towel rolls if preferred

- Scissors
- A brush for the paint
- Black marker, or pencil
This fun and simple project, toilet paper roll flowers, is perfect for kids who want to create something beautiful and for parents looking for a quick and delightful art project. We’ll be creating cute daisies and tulips that stand tall and proud. Just follow these easy steps
How to Make Toilet Paper Roll Tulips
- Prepare Your Supplies: Gather all your materials in a clean workspace. Make sure your toilet paper roll, scissors, paint, and paintbrush are within easy reach.
- Draw the Tulip Shape: Take the toilet paper roll and with your pencil or a black marker pen, draw the outline of a tulip on it. This includes the flower at the top with pointed petals and a base at the bottom to help it stand.
- Cut Out the Tulip: Using the scissors, carefully cut along the lines you’ve drawn. You’ll end up with the tulip’s distinctive shape, complete with a stem and a flat base that will help your flower stand up.
- Paint Your Flower: Now it’s time to bring your tulip to life with color! Grab your paintbrush and cover the cutout with red paint (or your favorite color) for the petals and white for the edges to add some highlight. Paint the base with the same color as the petals to keep a consistent look. Allow your flower to dry on a flat surface.
- Display Your Tulip: Once the paint has dried, it’s time to show off your creation. Place your tulip upright on a window sill, desk, or shelf. You can make several of these in different colors for a full bouquet that will brighten up any room.
How to Make Toilet Paper Roll Daisies
Making toilet paper roll daisies is a very similar technique, just a slightly different shape of flower.
- Prepare Your Materials: As with the tulip, start by organizing your workspace with all the necessary materials.
- Draw the Daisy Petals: Instead of drawing a tulip shape, you’ll want to cut out a daisy petal shape. Think of a cloud or a fluffy circle—it doesn’t need to be perfect, as nature loves variety! Take your empty toilet paper roll and draw the shape with black marker or use a pencil if you prefer.
- Draw the Daisy Base: Towards the bottom of the cardboard roll, you’ll want to draw your double-leaf shapes which will serve as the base of your flower. The key to this craft is to make sure your shapes go right to the edge of the cardboard roll, so that you’ll keep the tube structure once your flower has been cut out.
- Cut out your Shape: Once the shape is finalised, cut it out.
- Paint the Daisy Petals and Base: Use white paint for the petals and green for the base, with yellow for the center of your flower. Let your child be generous with the paint; it’s part of the fun!
- Display Your Daisy: Once the paint has dried, your toilet paper tube daisy is ready to brighten any room or play area!
Creating these toilet paper roll flowers is not just a lot of fun, but it’s also an excellent way for kids of all ages to practice their fine motor skills and learn about recycling. The best part is seeing your beautiful flower on display, knowing you’ve made it from simple toilet paper rolls! Happy crafting!
There you have it—step by step, you and your kids have created something magical out of a simple toilet paper roll. Whether you chose the bold tulips or the sunny daisies, or even ventured into making different flowers in different colors, you’ve turned crafting into so much fun.
