Introduction

In today's video, we will be making a cute and fun roll of toilet paper using yarn. With the current situation of hoarding and shortages of toilet paper, why not add a little humor to the situation? This project is a great way to lighten the mood and bring some laughter into our homes. So, join us as we create this adorable toilet paper roll craft.

Materials Needed

To create this toilet paper roll craft, you will need the following materials:

• White yarn
• Scissors
• F hook
• Worsted yarn
• Safety eyes (12mm)
• Yarn needle
• Black thread
• Fiberfill

Make sure you gather all these materials before beginning the project.

Step 1: Making a Magic Ring

To start, we will create a magic ring using the white yarn. This will serve as the base for our crochet toilet paper roll. Once the magic ring is created, we will crochet six single crochet stitches into the ring.

Step 2: Increasing Stitches

In this step, we will increase the stitches in each round to start building up the size of the toilet paper roll. By adding two single crochet stitches into each stitch around, we will gradually increase the number of stitches.

Step 3: Building up the Sides

Now that we have increased the stitches, it's time to start building up the sides of the toilet paper roll. We will continue crocheting in rounds, adding one single crochet stitch in some rounds and increasing in others. This will give our roll a cylindrical shape.

Step 4: Working in the Back Loop

To create a textured appearance and help the roll stand up better, we will start working in the back loop only. By crocheting through the back loop of each stitch, we will create a ridge-like pattern on the outside of the roll.

Step 5: Single Crocheting Around

In this step, we will continue single crocheting around the roll. However, this time, we will go through both loops of each stitch. This will give the roll a more solid and finished look.

Step 6: Adding Eyes and Mouth

Now it's time to give our toilet paper roll some personality by adding eyes and a mouth. Using the safety eyes and black thread, we will attach the eyes four rows down from the top. Then, using the black thread, we will stitch on a mouth, adding a cute expression to our roll.

Step 7: Decreasing Rounds

To complete the shape of the toilet paper roll, we will start decreasing the number of stitches. This will narrow the roll and give it a tapered appearance. We will continue crocheting in rounds, decreasing the stitches until we reach the desired shape.

Step 8: Stuffing and Closing

Once the desired shape is attained, it's time to stuff the toilet paper roll with fiberfill. This will give it a soft and plush feel. After stuffing, we will close the opening by sewing it shut using a yarn needle.

Making the Toilet Paper Sheet

To add a finishing touch to our crochet toilet paper roll, we will create a small sheet that hangs off the side. Using a chain stitch and single crochet, we will crochet the sheet by creating rows of single crochet stitches. This sheet will add a realistic touch to our craft.

Sewing the Sheet onto the Roll

In this step, we will sew the sheet we created onto the toilet paper roll. We will position the sheet slightly to the back of the roll and sew it onto the side, aligning it with the stitches. This will secure the sheet in place and complete the appearance of our crochet toilet paper roll.
