Why You'll Love This Angry Toilet Paper Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it never fails to make people laugh when they spot it on the tree! It is such a quick project that provides instant gratification, and it uses such small amounts of yarn that it is perfect for stash busting. The construction is surprisingly realistic, and playing with different angry eyebrows gives each one a unique personality. Plus, it is a fantastic conversation starter at holiday parties.
Switch Things Up
I love how versatile this pattern is for customization! While the angry face is hilarious, you can easily change the expression to be happy, sad, or surprised just by cutting the felt differently. This completely changes the vibe of the ornament.
You can also experiment with different colors. Why not make a golden toilet paper roll for a 'luxury' look, or use patterned yarn to simulate fancy printed paper? It is a fun way to use up unique scraps from your stash.
I often add my own creative touches like a tiny Santa hat or a miniature scarf to make it festive for the holidays. These small accessories can be glued right on top for extra cuteness.
If you want to make a functional version, try using super bulky yarn and a large hook to create a plushie pillow version for your bathroom! It would be a funny and soft decor piece.
For a keychain version, simply use thinner yarn and a smaller hook. It makes for a hilarious accessory to clip onto a backpack or purse. The possibilities are endless with such a simple base shape!
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
β Twisting the long chain for the toilet paper strip can make the edge uneven; ensure your chain is flat before starting the first row of HDC.
β Applying too much hot glue can seep through the yarn and look messy; apply a thin, even layer of glue to the tube section only.
β Cutting the felt pieces too small makes the expression hard to see; use sharp scissors and test the placement before gluing permanently.
β Stitching the inner roll too tightly might make it hard to flip edges inward; keep your tension moderate to allow for the necessary structural folding.
