The cardboard tubes from toilet paper are something you’ll find in any household.

We tend to throw them away, but they actually have some surprising uses.

So here’s an idea for making a little ogre (oni) ornament out of a tube.

First, cut a piece of thick paper to the same size as the tube’s opening to make a lid.

Then treat the whole tube as the ogre’s body: use yarn and felt to create and attach the horns and hair at the top, and the facial features below.

Finally, wrap yarn around the bottom part of the tube to recreate the ogre’s pants, and you’re done.
