Hello and welcome back to Do Small Things with Love.
I love creating in all ways, but I get a special thrill out of creating something fun/functional/beautiful/educational from what would otherwise be garbage.
While lost in Pinterest one day I discovered just how wildly creative people have become with Toilet Paper Rolls of all things!
Amazing.
Call them what you want: Toilet Paper Rolls, Paper Towel Rolls, Cardboard Tubes, Paper Tubes…
These simple things that are generally just pitched into the trash can be an amazing crafting supply.
The projects included in this roundup range from Home Decor to Kids Crafts, to Educational Crafts, to Organizational Crafts, Gardening, to seasonal decor.
It is all here.
Before we get into the roundup I just wanted to tell you about a book my kids and I have been working our way through around here–and using lots of otherwise-would-be-trash items along the way: Craft-a-Day: 365 Simple Handmade Projects.
Check it out if you have lots of little crafters at home as I do.
One last note–thank you to everyone that allowed me to use their creative ideas in this post.
If you see something that you’d like to pin for later, please pin from the original post, not from here.
Give credit where credit is due!
Enjoy!

All the best,
Interesting! I’ll have to come back to this when we have a “normal” toilet with a bidet. Our composting toilet seems to do well with some normal TP to keep the moisture level low. And that composting toilet hasn’t quite been all roses
Such a great list of toilet paper roll crafts. My personal favorite on this list is Crochet Case for Pencils. It’s so useful for carrying stationery! I love upcycling waste materials so these are just great!!
