Toilet paper tube Smurf craft and a toilet paper tube Smurfette craft. They are perfect for your Smurf-loving kids or a birthday party.
Smurf Craft and Smurfette Craft
I love making crafts from cartoon characters. Like this Olaf Christmas Ornament, Hank the Octopus Glove Craft, and Minion Party Bag Craft. This is one of those fun movie character crafts that the kids will love.
Thank goodness the Smurfs 2 movie came around during our very rainy summer week. We followed up our fun movie experience with a trip to Michael’s craft store. And this is what we came up with for a Smurf and Smurfette craft. If you plan on having a birthday party or want to make a Smurf craft with the kids, read on. I’ll tell you what I did to make these cute dolls that my 6-year-old daughter has completely taken over to play with.
What You’ll Love about this Smurf Craft Idea
- The kids will love playing with these fun Smurf characters
- It’s a fun craft to make with your child
- With gentle play, they should last for years. I still have mine from 2013.
Supplies needed:
- Blue tubes—I bought these great pre-painted toilet paper tubes, which Creatology makes. I figured that by the time I bought the blue spray paint, I would have just as much money invested. I took the easy way out.
- Kids’ Crew Socks with no writing. Size 4-6 socks worked well for what I needed. I found them at Dollar Tree.
- Cotton balls to stuff the socks
- A warm glue gun and glue sticks
- Giant google eyes
- Blue foam sheets
- Sharp scissors for the adult
- Blue pom-poms for the nose – small
- Yellow felt for the Smurfette hair – cut 3 U shapes for her hair and another oblong U for her bangs
- Black elastic beading chord for eyelashes – cut six small pieces (3 for each of Smurfette’s eyes)
- A black Sharpie for the eyebrows and mouths
- Optional: A little red heart sticker for Smurfette’s tongue
How to Make Smurf and Smurfette
Smurfette’s Hair
Cut three Oval shapes from the yellow felt that are about 2×4 inches
Cut a couple of thin oval shapes for the bangs
Shape the thin oval shaped into a curve with a pointed tip
Tuck the three larger ovals to the top of the toilet paper tube, separating them a little for layers
Glue them in place
Add the curves bangs with the pointed tip to the front
The Hat
The hat is a sock stuffed with cotton balls
When you get the sock on the tube as your hat, fold it over and secure it with the glue
Push the sock hat down to bend it forward, and add glue to secure it in place
Assembling the Eye
Cutting a blue circle from the blue foam sheet – a little larger than the black pupil and smaller than the whites of the eye.
Turn the eye over, and have an adult cut a slit in the backs of the Google eyes – insert the blue circle behind the black pupil.
Use the black pieces of cording to give Smurfette eyelashes
Face
Use a Sharpie to draw the mouths and eyebrows
