Christmas is
a wonderful time to teach children how they can let their light shine by
helping others. A simple way to bring
cheer to someone is by making this shiny, swirly ornament just for that person.
First cut
along the seams of the toilet roll. When
it is opened you will see that the toilet paper roll was actually made form a
parallelogram. Now, trim off some of the
pointed edges. (See picture)
Working on
one section at a time, spread on glue evenly.
I used white school glue, but I think a glue stick would have been
easier. Hold the ornament over a paper
plate or anything that will catch the glitter that falls. Sprinkle the glitter generously. Repeat until both sides are covered. When the glue is dry, punch a hole in one end
and inset an ornament hanger or a piece of yarn. Roll the cardboard back up tightly and
release to tighten the swirl.
Give the
ornament to someone and watch their face light up!
