Toilet Paper Roll Horses

March 14, 2021~ DIY and craft projects, kids, Uncategorized

You guys. YEARS of saying “I will never do a craft about toilet paper rolls, that’s not what PMQ for two is about,” I have a toilet paper roll horses DIY for you. Inspired by the Gift Horse Party Favors from Handmade Charlotte, I made a few modifications to ours.

diy toilet paper roll horses are the perfect rainy day craft, and your little ones will get some mileage out of them. Come see how!

Keep in mind, these won’t be the most durable set of “toys” or crafts you ever make, but if you don’t want to spend 10$ on a single horse toy, this is the craft for you! They’d also make a great centerpiece or bar decor for a Kentucky Derby themed party.

What do you need to make toilet paper roll horses?

You’ll need a few simple things, most of which a crafter already has at home:

  • toilet paper rolls (sans TP)
  • popsicle sticks 
  • recycled cardboad (to make the head)
  • paint + paint brush
  • thick yarn in a variety of complimentary colours.
  • hot glue gun, scissors
  • baker’s twine to make a harness for the horse

I’ve got a quick video showing you how to make them, or you can scroll through the photos below for a more detailed step by step. This project isn’t technically complicated, or particularly time consuming. I’ll definitely make these again as the need arises.

Start by painting everything the same colours. It’s easier to paint before you assemble the items.

In a fun colour, create a tail tassel, and a smaller tassel for the main on the head. Check out my tutorial for tassels if you’ve never made one.

Once they’re attached, using a dollop of hot glue, it’s time for the legs, and the head. Hot glue is your best friend here.

I added them to June’s Montessori play room setup, and will be sure to cycle them through as her play needs change.

Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Ch Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Champagne Oak flooring from @goldenselect is the one element (other than paint) that runs throughout our house! It’s a unifying element, and brings depth to each space, especially the ones built around neutrals. It’s waterproof, exceptionally durable (to pets and kids!) and easy to clean. It’s also the flooring we installed in our last home, so you know we love it!

AD: in the meantime, I’ve got @mrsmeyerscleandaycanada’s NEW Rain Water detergent to bridge the gap between snow storms and rain storms. 🧺 I use the liquid detergent to keep our clothes clean, smelling fresh, and in ship shape for all that life with a toddler throws our way. Head to my stories for more details!
