Are you ready to get your craft on and make a super cute stocking cap ornament?
Home is where you hang your hat. – Leon Redbone
First, I may or may not have a few yarn skeins from all the times I have started to learn knitting.
Second, a weird interesting fact about me: I save our toilet paper rolls, which you need for this craft, and have even sold some! True story… you can read about that and some tips for selling on Facebook Marketplace here.
Third, if you are new to these salvage woods, here are a few DIY ornaments you may have missed: Buffalo Check Log Carrier Ornament, Jenga Snowman Ornament, and Santa’sMagic Key Ornament.
Now, are you ready to grab your favorite beverage and do some crafting? I thought so!

- Cardboard toilet paper roll

INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut 30+ (depending on thickness) 15” long pieces of yarn.

- Fold one strand of yarn in half. Pass the folded end through the center of the toilet paper roll ring then pass the loose ends through the fold and pull it tight.
- Continue adding strands of yarn until the toilet paper roll ring is completely covered. As you add more strands of yarn, push them close together without overlapping the strands.
- Pass all of the loose ends of the yarn through the center of the toilet paper roll ring and out the other side.
- Gather all of the loose strands of yarn and tie an 8” piece of yarn around them tightly about 1 ½” above the top of the toilet paper ring.
- Use scissors to neatly trim the excess yarn above where you tied it until they resemble a pompom.
- Finally, use an ornament hook or an extra piece of yarn for your ornament hanger (tie or hook around the yarn under the pompom).
