Frankenstein Paper Craft Supplies

- Craft glue
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Sharpie

Toilet Paper Roll Frankenstein Instructions
Step 1:
First, you’ll need to pick out your colored paper and cardstock.
We used green cardstock paper for the head and main ear patterns, dark green craft paper for the inner ear patterns, black cardstock paper for the hair pattern, gray craft paper for the bolt pattern, blue craft paper for the pant, brown craft paper for the jacket and white craft paper for the shirt.
Next, you’ll trace the template patterns on the selected cardstock and craft papers. Then, cut out the traced patterns using scissors.
Step 2:
After you’ve cut out the patterns, attach the hair cutout on the top side of the head pattern.
Then, you’ll attach the inner ear cutouts to the main ear cutouts.
Step 3:
Next, you’ll attach the ear patterns on both sides of the head pattern and the bolt patterns on both sides as well but below the ears.
Step 4:
After the ears are attached, glue the eye cutouts to the head pattern. Then, use a sharpie to draw the nose and mouth of the papercraft Frankenstein pattern.
Step 5:
Now it’s time to work on Frankenstein’s body. First, cut out a piece of paper from blue craft paper. This paper’s width should be slightly more than the toilet paper roll’s half and the length should be enough to wrap around the toilet paper roll once.
Next, you’ll cut out a brown paper similarly, but this time keep the width of the paper the same as the half of the toilet paper roll’s height.
Then, cut out a small strip of square paper and attach it along the middle of the brown paper. This is the shirt and the brown on both sides of the white paper will be the jacket.
Step 6:
Now, wrap the toilet paper roll with blue and brown paper. Be sure to keep the blue paper on the bottom side since this is the pair of pants.
Then, apply glue on the open ends to secure the wrapping.
Step 7:
Finally, attach the head on the top side of the paper-wrapped toilet paper roll to complete the craft.
And voila! You have a super cute Frankenstein toilet paper roll craft!
Toilet Paper Roll Frankenstein FAQs
You can easily use a paper towel roll instead of a toilet paper roll. Just be sure to cut it to be the same size as a toilet paper roll or adjust the paper size.
You can use it as a puppet, set it on a table for decoration, or add a string loop and hang it somewhere.
Yes, it’s a kid-friendly craft, but younger children might need adult supervision or assistance, especially with cutting or using glue.
It typically takes about 15-30 minutes, excluding drying time for the glue.
Absolutely! Kids can add their own creative touches, like glitter, stickers, or different facial expressions.
Make sure the bottom of the toilet paper roll is flat, or you can add a small weight inside to help it stand.
