The template includes head, 2 horns, inner ear patterns, 2 front legs, 2 hoofs, lower part of the face, 1 dewlap (the part below the throat), 2 blush patterns, and 2 eyes.

Attach the inner ear cutouts on the ear parts of the head cutout, and attach the lower part of the face on the bottom side of the head cutout. Attach the hoof cutouts on the wide ends of the leg cutouts.
-
Attach the horn cutouts on the top side of the head, keeping the horn branches facing upwards. Attach the eye and blush cutouts on the head pattern.
-
Use a sharpie or gel pen to trace outlines of the eyes and draw the nose and mouth-line of the papercraft moose project.

Measure and cut out a piece of brown paper to cover a TP roll.
-
Attach the legs near a side of the prepared paper, keeping the hoof parts along the border, and attach the dewlap pattern above the legs.

Cover the Toilet paper roll with the prepared piece (from the previous step). Apply glue to secure the open ends of the paper to secure the TP roll moose craft.
