Instructions
Step #1:
Measure out a strip of construction paper for the pilgrim's body. This will be wrapped around 3/4 of the toilet paper roll. Once it is cut out, wrap it around starting at the bottom and glue it.
Step #2:
Get a pink piece (or peach) of construction paper. Do the same as you did with the body, to cover the rest of the toilet paper roll. Before you glue this one, measure a yellow piece the same size. Then glue.
Step #3:
This can be your template for a girl or boy pilgrim, or you can make a little Indian as well. For our example, we have created a boy pilgrim and a girl Indian 🙂
Step #4:
Take that yellow piece of construction paper your measured. Cut small slits all the way around it, cut up about 3/4 of the paper. Roll it around the face area of your pilgrim. This will be their hair. In the front area trim the bangs so your pilgrim can see.
Step #5:
Draw a face on the pink area that is under the bangs.
Step #6:
Cut out a white piece of paper for the pilgrim's shirt. Glue it on.
Step #7:
Cut another strip, this time black. This will be the main section of his hat. Also cut a circle out that will be the brim of his hat. To complete his hat, cut a think strip of white to wrap around the base to make a belt. Add its final piece: a yellow square for the buckle. Glue this hat on top his head.
Jazz It Up!!
Add pipe cleaner arms to complete your pilgrim.
What will you use these toilet paper roll people crafts for? They could easily be used as DIY pilgrim decorations for your Thanksgiving dinner table. You could add them as a centerpiece.
