How to Make a Moose from a Toilet Paper Roll

To start, grab and download the free printable moose template.

Print the template, cut out all the pieces and grab your craft papers.

Grab two different shades of brown paper for the body and head pieces of your moose.

Grab a separate brown or gold-colored cardstock for the antlers.

Trace the moose template patterns onto your craft papers and cut them out.

We used one brown for the main head piece of the moose. Then a different brown for the leg, lower part of the moose’s face and the dewlap (the fur on the neck).

We used a gold cardstock for the antlers and inner ear pieces.

And pink for the blush, white for the eyes, and black for the hooves.

Start assembling the mooses head by gluing the inner ear pieces to the head cut out like shown below.

Then attach the lower face to the head piece.

Next, attach the hoof pieces to the bottom of the legs.

Attach the antler’s to the top, back area of the moose’s head. Having the branch pieces facing toward each other.

Glue on the eyes and cheek pieces to the head.

Use a black marker or pen, add details to your moose’s face.

We traced around his eyes, added two nostrils and a big smile for the mouth.

Now that your mooses head is done, lets start assembling the main body.

Measure out a piece of dark brown paper to form out the moose’s body.

You want a piece big enough to wrap around a toilet paper roll completely.

Don’t attach it to the roll yet.

Next, lay out the large body piece and attach the legs of the moose to the bottom center of the body.

Attach the chest fur piece above the moose legs.

Attach the moose’s head just above the dewlap. It’ll over lap the fur piece and the head will be well above the body pieces, like shown below.

Finally, add glue to the back of the moose body and attach it to your toilet paper roll.

And ta-da! You’re paper roll moose is finished! Cute little guy right?
