Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

Minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired woodland animal toys (foxes, owls, bears, and deer) made by shaping tube tops into ears, painted in muted earthy tones.

Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide

  • Take an intact toilet paper roll.

  • Press the center of the top front and back rims downward toward the middle, creating two pointed triangular ears at the sides.

  • Paint the tube in earthy matte tones (rust orange for a fox, soft gray for an owl, warm brown for a bear).

  • Use fine-point black and white paint pens to draw minimalist facial features: sleeping curved eyes, simple noses, and geometric belly patterns.

  • Cut small teardrop cardboard wings or paws and glue them to the sides.

  • Seal with a non-toxic matte clear varnish for durable, sustainable playroom toys.
