You would never think to turn something that’s so commonly used by men, women and children, several times daily – and then at a few week’s time disposed of so easily without a care in the world. Do you ever even consider holding on to this simple item – – yes, I’m talking about the toilet paper roll!
Check out some of the great things people are creating out of a simple toilet paper roll. This will make you reconsider throwing things away…. ;)

Maybe these seem a little complicated to actually try and make ourselves, huh? Well this idea below is so cute and pretty simple – with enough time before the holidays to pull off.
This cute idea for a Countdown Calendar is from my blog friend Maya from Maya Made
Now this is another cute idea that seems fairly easy to pull off (at least easier than the first two posts ;) Rhonna Designs
Here is one last idea (although there’s probably hundreds ;) from Creative Jewish Mom. Isn’t this such a lovely wreath. I love it!
And lastly, who could forget the cute OCTOPUS FRIENDS I made with my daughter ;)

each creation here certainly is incredible!
i recognized maya’s sweet idea and i really love the last idea for the wreath! we are currently working on a little something with these rolls too! I keep saving them up for my project and my littles continue to find other things to create with them! : )

amazingly clever–all of them. I can’t believe it never occurred to me to make beauty from that little roll.

Incredible! Who’d a thunk it?! Those are amazing works of art! Talk about ‘reusing’ ….
Thanks for sharing. Peace, Angela

those toilet paper roll crafts are SO cool! the little scenes? geez! you know, my kids’ school was asking for tp rolls for their crafts, but i don’t think they’ll be doing anything like this. and now, i have a bunch of them saved up but i don’t think i want to donate them! lol
happy friday, ella!
