Why You'll Love This Angry Toilet Paper Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it combines humor with crafting in such an unexpected way. The simplicity of working entirely in half double crochet makes it relaxing and stress-free, while the creative concept keeps it entertaining throughout. I find it particularly satisfying to see the toilet paper actually wrap around the tube, creating that authentic rolled look. The hidden angry face inside adds such a fun surprise element that makes people smile every time they discover it. Plus, knowing I can complete this quirky project in under two hours and have a unique handmade ornament or gift ready to go brings me so much joy and satisfaction.
Switch Things Up
I love experimenting with this pattern to create different personalities and expressions for each toilet paper roll I make. Sometimes I'll swap the angry face for a happy, surprised, or sleepy expression to match different moods or gift recipients. You could even create a whole family of emotional toilet paper rolls with various feelings!
For a more festive look, I've tried adding tiny Santa hats or reindeer antlers to the top of the roll, which transforms it into a perfect Christmas ornament. You can also play with the color scheme by using cream or off-white yarn instead of pure white, or experimenting with different tan shades for the cardboard tube to match various bathroom aesthetics.
If you're making these as gifts, consider adding small accessories like miniature toilet paper sheets cut from white felt with funny messages written on them, or create a matching angry plunger companion piece. I've even seen crafters add small embroidered details or glitter accents to make their toilet paper rolls sparkle during the holidays.
For kids' rooms or playful spaces, you could make oversized versions using bulky yarn and a larger hook, creating a statement piece that's sure to get lots of laughs and attention from visitors.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
β Mistake: Making the toilet paper piece too tight when wrapping around the tube causing wrinkles and bunching in the final appearance
β Fix: Work with slightly looser tension and gently stretch the white piece before gluing to ensure smooth wrapping around tube
β Mistake: Cutting felt facial features too large or misaligned resulting in expressions that look distorted or don't fit properly
β Fix: Sketch face designs on paper first to test sizing before cutting felt and use fabric glue for repositioning flexibility
β Mistake: Not flipping tube edges inward properly leading to a flimsy structure that doesn't hold the toilet paper shape well
β Fix: Fold edges carefully and secure with a few stitches before applying hot glue to create firm structured roll shape
β Mistake: Forgetting to attach ornament string before final assembly making it difficult to thread through the completed tight roll
β Fix: Always tie and position ornament string around tube before wrapping toilet paper and hide knot inside roll carefully
