In this video I show you how to turn a single toilet paper roll into what I honestly think is the best mini Christmas tree you can make fast—because it’s clean, it’s sturdy, and it’s actually useful. I designed it with 3 uses in mind right from the start: you can set it on a table as a little decoration, hang it up as an ornament, or use it as a napkin holder. That “multiple uses” mindset is one of my favorite ways to get more value out of simple cardboard crafts. I walk through the whole build in a simple sequence: draw the outline of your tree directly on the roll, cut it out, paint it, and then weave the branches together to lock the shape in. The weaving step is the key move here—it gives the tree that elegant layered look without needing a bunch of extra materials. If you want to keep leveling up your holiday builds, I also link my fully 3D Christmas tree tutorial and a holiday gift guide for crafters so you’ve got more options depending on how big you want to go.
