3 Amazing and Fun Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

May 24, 2021
Americans are the highest consumers of toilet paper rolls in the world — 34 million rolls per day and about 36.5 billion rolls per annum. It takes about 270,000 trees and 17.3 terawatts of electricity annually to produce that much toilet paper. These staggering numbers emphasize the need to recycle toilet paper rolls. It’s not just toilet paper that can be recycled, you can also use the empty toilet paper rolls, which are essentially made of cardboard for various purposes.

Here are three fun and innovative DIY craft ideas to recycle empty toilet paper rolls:

DIY desk organizer

A DIY desk organizer with toilet paper rolls is an easy way to fix the mess created by kids’ stationery.


Things you need

  • Cereal boxes and toilet paper rolls
  • Acrylic paint
  • Ribbons (color coordinated)
  • Craft essentials (Scissors, glue, knife, and ruler)
  • Colored paper 


Steps:

  1. Take 2-3 empty cereal boxes and cut them at one-fourth length from the bottom to make the front row of your organizer. Take another two boxes and cut them in half for the back row. 
  2. Attach the toilet paper rolls to each other with glue to create spiral tubes of different lengths. 
  3. Place the longer tubes into the back row and the smaller ones in the front row cereal boxes. 
  4. Once the structure is ready, cover each individual piece with colorful paper using glue. Add the ribbons to the tops of the spiral tubes. You can paint beautiful motifs on the boxes with acrylic paint.
  5. Once everything dries, fix them in the original structure design using glue and tape.

Halloween bats

This Halloween decorate your home with these, not so creepy Halloween bats made with toilet paper rolls.


Things you need

  • Empty toilet paper rolls
  • Black paint and paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Craft essentials


Steps to make 

  1. Take the toilet paper rolls and paint them black using acrylic colors.
  2. Take the black paper and cut out bat wings from it: two wings per roll.
  3. Flatten the paper, roll, and fold both the ends of the tubes to the inside.
  4. Paste the wings on one side and stick the googly eyes on the opposite side to finish the job.

Phone Holder

A DIY phone holder is efficient, cheap, and eco-friendly. Here is how you can make one:


Things you need

  • Toilet paper rolls
  • Washi paper (you can also use fabric or wool)
  • Pushpins and craft essentials


Steps to make 

  1. Take an empty toilet paper roll and make a cutout on the surface the size of your phone. You can make one cut out as per vertical length and the other as per the horizontal length of your phone.
  2. Cover the rolls with Washi paper and any other decoration you may like to make them attractive.
  3. Attach the pushpins on the four sides to create a make-shift stand.
