Clever Crafts Using Toilet Paper Rolls
93Empty toilet paper rolls usually land in the trash can but you may think twice before tossing them after you see all of these clever home decor pieces and paper crafts. Each and every one of these projects were made using empty toilet paper rolls. Any of these projects can be made from empty paper towel rolls and gift wrapping tubes if the tubes aren't too thick.
You may have to look twice at some of these. With the selection of new spray paints available, even disposable toilet paper rolls can be made into beautiful metal works of art! A few of these look like those gorgeous, and not to mention expensive, wrought iron wall pieces that hang on the wall.
Here is a list of awesome toilet paper roll crafts along with links to the tutorials. Some of the sites are not English but Google Translate will kick in when you click on the links. Enjoy!
Faux Metal Wall Art
First off is this beautiful faux metal wall art tutorial I found at Suzy's Artsy Crafty Sitcom! I still can't believe I am looking at empty toilet paper rolls. These look hard to make but the tutorial is wonderful and explains everything in detail and has photo's too.
Wreaths
Look at this wreath I found at Noisy Pitta which was inspired by another beautiful toilet paper roll wreath (pictured below) plus the tutorial at Creative Jewish Mom. Both of these wreathes are lovely. I love the design, it looks like several flowers are connected together. If you would like to make one of these, visit the Creative Jewish Mom link above to see her tutorial.
Cute Little Owls
I found these at Living Locurto which originally came from Decoideas, a spanish site. I am in LOVE with these toilet paper roll owls. The link should activate Google Translate so you should have no problem reading. I can't believe how CUTE these owls are!!! The lovely mom at Decoideas is very talented. There isn't a tutorial but she says she used markers.. I love the details she made on the owls using the black marker. What an amazing artist! I think this may be my most favorite one out of the bunch.
Wall Art
Here is a sort of free form piece of wall art make using empty toilet paper rolls. It looks very nice mounted over the book case. This craft is an eco kids craft which she posts on her blog on a regular basis. It is to help encourage parents and teachers to make crafts out of recycled materials. I love it!
For the tutorial and more photos go to Growing Up Creative.
Party Favors
Look at these super cute party favors made from empty toilet paper rolls I found at Crissy's Crafts! She actually has a few different sets of them and they are all just as cute as the one pictured. One set is specifically for teachers-cute little teachers gifts. The tutorial is great with lots of photos PLUS whichever ones you decide to make, she has free printable labels to match it! These are some of the cutest party favors I've ever seen :)
Wall Decor
This one I found at a Hungarian site called Crescent and Lavender. This wall art looks amazing to me! I love the dark color of it and the scrolling flower shapes. Be sure to visit the link for the nice photo illustrated tutorial.
Rose Wreath
I'm all about faux flowers especially ones made from paper. I am so happy to have ran across this one made from empty toilet paper rolls. I think it looks amazing! I love how the flowers have that spiraled look to them. The finished wreath is painted white but I think I may like it better unpainted. To me, it has a sort of rustic look to it.
See how this was made at Proverbs 31 Life
Cute Little Monsters
This is an excellent kids craft.. look at these cute little toilet paper roll monsters! Like the owls featured above, I LOVE the details on these... What an amazing artist!
Go to alisaburke to see how she made these. There's lots of great photos, too!
Faux Iron Wreath
This is a stunning wreath made from toilet paper rolls that I found at Ivaalex. I wonder if the empty toilet paper rolls are a bit thicker there than they are here. The thicker look and dark color really makes this look like a heavy iron piece. I LOVE IT!!!
Canvas Wall Art
How about this pretty white canvas wall art I found at Just a Girl. It was made by gluing the toilet paper roll pieces on the canvas. This is one you could really get creative with. You could do your own design and color it whichever color you want. This one looks so pretty above the headboard.
Party Crackers
Leap Into Art has a tutorial for these cute party crackers/ party favors. They are basically little tubes of candies, small gifts or whatever you want to put in them, all wrapped up and embellished in pretty paper which is tied at both ends.
What's a real cracker?
I've been seeing these DIY "crackers" around a lot lately so I looked up exactly what a party cracker is and apparently, they are very popular in England through Christmas time. They are tubes that have candies or goodies in them which are wrapped in colored paper and when two people pulled on them something inside would crack or make a bang inside.
Faux Metal Filigree Frame
Another one from Suzy's Artsy-Craftsy Sitcom! Look at this gorgeous faux metal filigree frame. I bet it really makes a statement in the room. I am very impressed by the intricate shapes the toilet paper rolls were made into. I'm impressed at how sturdy it is to be able to hold the weight of the frames. Be sure to visit the link for the tutorial.
Cute Butterflies
How cute is this for a little girls craft! I couldn't resist sharing this one I found at Bo Bunny. It's a simple tutorial complete with printable template for the wings.
Door Frame Embellishment
I like the look of this and how the toilet paper rolls are glued together in such a way to embellish the door frame. The dark color really pops against the wall color. This makes me want to try to come up with a design to embellish the top of the door frame.
To see how she did it, go to Love People. Like Things.
Gift Card Holder
The Frugal Mom shared a tutorial on how to make this cute gift card holder. What a cute way to present a gift card! Go and see how she did it!
P.S. Be sure to check out the rest of her site- great stuff there!
Picture Frame
CraftCraver has a great tutorial on how to make this picture frame made from empty toilet paper rolls. Be sure to click on the toilet paper roll craft slide show link to see great photo illustrations of each of the steps. I love the way it looks with the gold spray paint.
Canvas Wall Art Set
This set of canvas wall art is really amazing. The sky is the limit as far as all the different designs and colors that you can use. I love how she used real branches. See how it was made at Revolutionaries.
P.S. You can buy sets of Canvas at Michael's or Hobby Lobby fairly inexpensive especially if you use the weekly 50% off coupon.
Tag Card and Envelope Set
How about making a tag card and envelop set from empty toilet paper rolls! I found a great tutorial at girltalk. This is another easy project that shouldn't take too long to make.
Vent/Grate Cover
Lady with the Red Rocker has a great photo illustrated tutorial for this DIY Vent/Grate Cover. Isn't this nice? It looks like real iron that has been painted white and kind of weathered. It has that sort of shabby chic look to it. I think it's amazing.
Napkin Rings
Here are some napkin holders I found made from empty toilet paper rolls at Boy, Oh, Boy, Oh Boy! I love faux flowers and gingham patterns so to me these look fabulous.Click on the link to see how she made them.
I also found another set of toilet paper roll napkin holders with the tutorial at Rustic Crafts and Chic Decor. I couldn't help but share it as I love the rustic look too.
Mini Scrapbook
Here is a small scrapbook made of toilet paper rolls made by Pearl via Write Online Article. I have seen these little books before around the internet and they are so cute though I don't know if those were made from toilet paper rolls. This is a very simple and easy paper craft.. Click the link for the tutorial.
Faux Firecracker Decor
How about some of these cute glitzy sequin or rhinestone firecrackers to decorate your home for the 4th of July?! They are very easy to make and the kids would have fun helping glue all the sequins or rhinestones on. The tutorial is for sequin firecrackers but the jeweled firecrackers are made the same way. Just use rhinestones instead of the sequins.
Here's the tutorial...have fun!
I hope you have enjoyed this toilet paper roll craft round-up hub! Start saving those empty toilet paper rolls!!

WebsiteConfetti- Thank you! I couldn't resist including them here.. I agree with you! I think they are the cutest :)
This is awsome. Never thought of Art from such a disposable material. Great addition for recycling enthusiasts but most would have to do it themselves because it is rare to find commercially done artworks with the toilet rolls. I will start to look at toilet rolls with a little more respect.
I love love love the cute owls!
nancynurse- Hi, thanks for stopping by! Actually I can only take credit for jeweled and sequined faux firecrackers, the rest were made by others from around net but I completely agree with you, these TP crafts are fabulous!! I have been saving empty TP roll tubes since I did this hub :)
I am amazed at what you have done with toilet paper rolls. I thought I was crafty . These are amazing
Hi Vinaya, it's great to "see" you! Thank you for stopping by my TP craft hub. I had no idea either how many different, amazing crafts you can make with empty toilet paper tubes, even ones that look like heavy iron pieces. People really keep amazing me! Thank you so much for stopping by :)

You added your firecrackers! Good for you!! I'm looking forward to a 4th of July crafts, food, and decor round-up from you!
sandramathew, Thank you! I love those little monsters, too. Thanks so much for stopping by :)
frogpetals, Wow, that's great! These are perfect for people who are into recycling/reusing like you. I'm so glad you made it here and found these. Thank you soooo much for stopping by and for the super nice comment! Happy TP tube crafting :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!!!!!! I am all about recycling things around the house, and this is something I had never thought of. My neighbors are so gonna love me when I ask them to save these LOL! Great Hub!!!
Thank you, johnakc :)
Very beautiful art..
And very great ideas..
mvaivata- I know what you mean.. some of those wreaths look just like heavy wrought iron.. they are amazing! You should try and make something with some of your rolls for the recycling.. They are lots of fun to work with! Thank you so much for dropping by :)
I have a bunch of toilet paper and paper towel rolls that are waiting to be put in the recycle bin. ...Maybe I need to save a few for an art project or two. I especially love the wreaths. It's hard to believe they're toilet paper rolls!
Aww.. thanks SMD2012! I am so glad that you like these! I love those little owls, too.. they are so adorable. Thank you for the vote, the pin and everything! I really appreciate it :)
Love this! I couldn't believe the wall art at first! So beautiful! And the little owls! I'm not waiting for Christmas to make those! So cute. Voted up, pinned, shared and beautiful!
Hello Rochelle, thanks for stopping by and for the nice comment! I was surprised myself to see how many different projects were out there using these TP tubes. It's great that you at least recycle the tubes instead of just throwing them in the trash. That is the next best thing to do with them. Kudos to you :)
Thank you lasertekservices :)
prairieprincess, You are welcome! I'm so happy that you like these :)
Beautiful art work... enough projects here to keep someone busy for years.(I'm ashamed to say I throw these away, thogu they do go into the cardboard recycle.)
These are great ideas.
Wow, great roundup! These are amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing these.
Dr Cil, You are welcome.. thanks for dropping by!
Eileen G, thank you so much for stopping by and for the vote! I am glad that you like these :)
Great assortment of wall decorations, thanks for sharing.
These are fabulous, thanks for all the work and sharing - voted up :)
sedotwc, Yes, I agree! It truly is a way to take something that is usually regarded as trash and make it into something functional and valuable. There really are so many talented people out there. I don't know what I would do without the internet, else I may not have been able to find all this great stuff. Thanks so much for stopping by!
just a creative person who can do it, I'm so jealous ...
they can make the art of good Toilet Paper Rolls. they are able to change things that have no economic value to goods become have a function and economic value
Lilleyth- I know, right?! I've been obsessed with saving TP tubes ever since I wrote this hub :)
I've seen it all now...Who woulda thunk it?
Tricia, you are welcome! I felt the same when I found these... I couldn't believe how some of them look like actual heavy wrought iron. Amazing for sure :) Thanks for dropping by!
Wow ~ This is recycling at it's best. I guess one man's trash IS another man's treasure. I will never look at toilet paper rolls the same again. Thanks for the inspiration!
LauraGT- Thank you Laura... I was amazed by many of these, too! Thank you for stopping by :)
These are amazing! I was expecting dinky kids crafts, but these are beautiful. Thanks for sharing
mary615, thank you.. I'm glad you like these :0)
As a crafter, I'm always looking for new ideas. I just might try to craft these. Thanks for sharing.
TIMETRAVELER2- Thank you so much.. I really appreciate it :)
fpherj48- That is too funny! I couldn't believe how amazing some of these were myself and there are even more that I didn't add to the hub. Google toilet paper roll faces and see what comes up.. you will be amazed! Thank you so much for stopping by :0)
Millionaire Tips- That's exactly what I thought LOL! Thank you for stopping by :)
I'm bookmarking this hub and sharing it as well. I want to use these ideas! I'll also be following you. Thanks so much for these clever ideas.
Get OUT!!! Holy Arts & Crafts!...If I hadn't seen these wonderful and creative items made form TOILET PAPER ROLLS, I simply wouldn't believe it. Amazing.
Jamie, I swear, My hubby and I were joking the other night saying "too bad all the empty rolls we toss out can't be rolls of money!!"
I see, in a way, they sure can be! Thanks for this terrific hub!
Wow these are amazing. There are a lot of great things you can do with toilet paper rolls. And to think I've been throwing them away all these years.
KoffeeKlatch Gals- I had no idea either.. I was shocked to see what people were doing with toilet paper rolls as I was researching the different projects. Some of them are absolutely amazing! Needless to say, I've been saving my TP roll tubes now. I don't know if mine will look anything like some of those above but I'm sure going to give it a try! Thank you for stopping by and for the votes. I really appreciate it :0)
Jaime, I had no idea toilet paper rolls could make such beautiful works of art. I expected something that a young child could do but these... they are elegant, up scale looking crafts. I was pleasently surprized. Up, awesome and beautiful.
teaches12345- I know what you mean, I had never seen anything like some of these either... they did such a great job. There are some truly talented people in the world! There were some even more elaborate things that were made with TP tubes that I didn't share in the hub. Google toilet paper tube faces and toilet paper roll art and see what comes up- you will be amazed! Thanks so much for visiting and for the vote up!!
I can't believe all of these beautiful craft ideas use toilet paper rolls. As a preschool teacher I had children use rolls for many things but nothing so elaborate as what you have shown in your hub. The faux iron is a great idea, looks real and is less expensive. I love the monsters! Great hub. Voted up!
Pras- thank you so much for stopping by.. so good to see you! I apologize I haven't stopped by your hubs lately. Thank you for the nice comment about the TP crafts. I agree, they really are beautiful. I am going to attempt making some of them just as soon as I save enough toilet paper tubes. Thank you for voting up.. I really appreciate it :0)
This was so beautiful. Useful and inspired us. We need a little creativity to make all these toilet paper rolls crafts. Thanks for share with us. Rated up!
Prasetio
tirelesstraveler- Yes, TP rolls may not be best for the napkin rings. You could substitute paper towel or gift wrap tubes though. Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome, but I agree with ipanfil wouldn't want any to go near my food. We have been sick and used hundreds of the rolls.
Thank you Jamie Brook you are very kind to us. Wonderful day and new craft adventures. Greetings.

ivaalex- Thank you for sharing your beautiful wreath and for sharing the other wreaths too! I am excited to go and look at them. You and your daughters are very talented :0)
Thank you selected my Wreath. I live in Czech, but I'm from Bulgaria, and write in Bulgarian. This wreath is very easy. It is made from empty toilet rolls toilet paper. They arepainted in black, glued and sprayed with gold spray. My two girls are helping me tocraft this. We made two more projects of empty rolls. Snowflake and red wreath. You can see them here. http://ivaalex.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post_11.h http://ivaalex.blogspot.com/2011/08/blog-post.html Greetings from Czech Republic and snow me. Iva.

Natashalh, You and me both.. well, I knew that they were sometimes used for kids crafts but nothing like this. I've started saving empty rolls now. Thank you so much for stopping by :)
Amazing. I literally never thought to do anything but throw them in the trash!

RTalloni, LOL! I really didn't think about it but I can see why people may pass this one up. Some of these aren't your typical TP crafts.. I see what you mean :0) I may need to do a little title tweaking for sure. As always, thank you SO much for stopping by.. I really appreciate it and appreciate the votes too :0)
Kris Heeter, I'm glad you like these and have decided to save some for projects with your nieces..I agree with you on the wall art.. some of them look like heavy wrought iron! Glad you like these.. thanks for dropping by. I appreciate it :0)

Unfortunately, I am not talented in the arena of making crafts, nor do I even enjoy the prospect of doing so. However, I applaud the magnificent efforts of those who do.
Empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls have another, more mundane, but nevertheless, valuable use. They are terrific for cushioning fragile objects in boxes when preparing them to be shipped. Combined with bubble wrap, they can protect the most breakable items and allow them to arrive at their destination unscathed.
What a cool hub! Starting today, I will stop throwing out empty T.P rolls. I cannot wait to try one of these fun looking projects. It's going to be hard to choose the one I will do first. I am voting up!
Wow! These ideas are truly awesome! Thanks for sharing them and also the links that show details of how to make them.
I came here on Stephanie Henkel's recommendation and am glad I did.
Voted up across the board except for funny.
This is awesome, voted up! I never would have thought of any of these. The only time we used the rolls were in a project for my daughter for school. She had to create an animal out of recycled items. We made a giraffe out of paper towel and toilet paper rolls. Great ideas here and thank you for sharing :)
bookmarked!!!! thank you so much for publishing this hub. This is really best out of waste.
And I think these work of art are also good for the environment.
Jamie, excellent hub. I don't know what we should be so surprised what we can do with a toilet paper roll since something always seems to have a creative idea behind it. However, this one was very interesting. Some of the images you have are really remarkable considering what they're made of. Had to vote this up. Thanks much for sharing these ideas.
These are absolutely amazing... I guess I am going to start collecting toilet paper rolls to make these. Definately bookmarking this for the future (when I have enough collected) and sharing it with all my facebook friends!
Great ideas, one after the other. Currently our Guinea Pigs make use of all of our toilet paper rolls but this may have to change. Voted up and awesome.
These are so incredibly clever. The faux metal wall art is especially convincing. Voting this Up and Useful.
Wow - the faux iron work is incredible, and I love the mini-scrapbook out of toilet paper rolls! Very creative ideas!
I love the faux iron wreath and everything else...amazing...voted up! I feel inspired!!!
Talk about another man's garbage. These are some very decorative wall mounts. Voted up, marked useful, interesting and bookmarked.
This is just so amazing...I would love to try some of these ideas..Thanks for a useful and intersting hub.
Sunnie
OMGOSH!! This is amazing!! I am not creative at all, but I will share it with my creative girlfriends, and I bet I will get a gift. I am going to start saving toilet paper rolls! Thanks for SHARING!! Votes and shares! :-)
Child, I am going to be really honest here. You need a new title. I've seen this and said to myself that I would look at it sometime, maybe. Mmmm, next time. Maybe another time... Tonight I looked. Some of these are truly amazing. Next time you come up with something like this be sure and add "RT, Don't Wait" to the end of your title. Actually, I know you come up with great stuff so I should've known to look. I never thought I would vote anything toilet up, but up this is. :)
Love this hub! The wall art is impressive. I'll be thinking of that every time I change the TP roll - LOL:)
Bookmarking this hub and saving some TP rolls for some projects with my nieces!
Thanks:)
All I can say is WOW! I don't think that I'll ever throw a toilet paper roll away again. In fact I just did about 30 minutes ago and I'm going to go get it right now. This is a definite bookmark, share and will do down the road hub!
I just love this Hub. I kept a lot of them, hoping to convert them to little pots to give to the kids at my daughter's school, but I just love the wall arts. Voted up, useful, beautiful, awesome, and interesting!!!
Really cool!It is hard to believe these are made of TP rolls. Voted up and awesome!
I never, never would have guessed that these crafts were made from toilet paper rolls! They're cute and creative, and some are really elegant looking. Great ideas! Voted up!
AMAZING! Seriously, I am going to show this Hub to everyone I know because its almost unbelievable what one can make with TP rolls :)
Jamie! This hub is fantastic! Only YOU could create a clever article like this filled with ideas for toilet paper rolls. I'm amazed at some of the ideas! I like the party favor holders among others. I'm going to share this with my daughters who are elementary teachers and could use these ideas for their students. Way to go!
sunbun, LOL! I know what you mean... I keep watching the toilet paper roll in the bathroom wishing it would hurry up and get used up! I've got two saved so far :0)
Nell, thanks for stopping by and for the vote! I was amazed at some of these projects, too. Especially the ones that look like heavy wrought iron. Glad you liked these :0)
I find myself wanting to unwind all the paper towels remaining on the roll so I can get my hands on the cardboard roll, just so I can try some of these ideas. I especially like the ironwork filigree wall decor ones.
Hi, Wow! I though you were going to show just a childs toy or something like that! Unbelievable! very clever, and voted up! cheers nell
sunbun, thank you! I have been working hard on that blog. I really appreciate the compliment :o) I think I actually have seen some of those cardboard rolls connected together to make storage.. just like you are describing. That sounds like another great blog post idea.. If you decide to make one, send me a photo :0)
I heart your blog!! http://crafteronabudget.blogspot.com/
The upcycled/decorated tin cans for storage made me think....why can't we decorate cardboard rolls and stick a bunch together for a cute craft storage idea? Like a 2x2 or 4x4 square of them for your pens and pencils? A way to keep them stable though...Brainstorming as I write this....
vianasya, thank you for the vote! I am so glad you like these :) I had seen toilet paper roll crafts before but nothing as intricate as all of this different wall art. It really is amazing. Thanks for stopping by!
So creative,Jamie Brock! I've never thought about it before. I really like the ideas in this hub! Mostly the wall art. I love it too. So beautiful indeed. I voted up! :)
sunbun143, Your cocoon project sounds cute.. I'm heading on over right now to see your hub. Thanks for stopping by!
dobo700, Yes, clever indeed. Never thought toilet paper rolls could make such great stuff. Thanks for stopping by :)
mandymoreno81, thank you for stopping by! I LOVE the owls too.. I think they might be my favorite one. So darned cute!
Wow beautiful art not just crafty! Once I saved a bunch of rolls and decorated as cocoons.....we glued paper caterpillars to clothespins and clipped them on to butterflies (which were hiding in the "cocoon") http://sunbun143.hubpages.com/hub/caterpillartheme
Cool, I just throw them out. Very clever
These are some intricate designs, I really like the owl idea!
A.CreativeThinker- You are welcome.. so glad you like these ideas :)
Great idea and wonderful way to reuse paper rolls. Thanks for sharing. :)
You are welcome, Rose. Glad you like them. I was blown away, too!
Wow, I am blown away by all of the amazing things that you can make with toilet paper rolls! I love all of the coils and whatnot that people make. Thanks for this great resource.
agusfanani- Hi, it's great to see you! Yes, I agree.. it's unbelievable these crafts started out as empty TP tubes. Hope all is well with you :)

Chaplin Speaks, Thanks hon! I really appreciate the vote and am glad you like the hub :)
Ipanfil, Hum..didn't even think of that! Perhaps the napkin rings would be better made with the empty paper towel tubes :)
I shall be looking at my toilet paper rolls in a totally different way now, and seeing owls and napkin rings. Great hub.
Beautiful selection of crafts made from toilet paper rolls. Who knew?
Thanks for sharing!
Amazing way to recycle. Thanks for sharing this!
Very cool! and way to recycle! Voted up, for sure!
As cleaver as they may be, I don’t think I want to stuff my napkin through anything that has lingered in the bathroom! :)
Peggy, Yes, I agree! Aren't these amazing?! Thanks for the votes.. I appreciate it!
Wow! Whoever thought up all of these uses for using toilet paper rolls is very clever! Some of them are really pretty as well as useful. Up votes! :))

Emmanuel Kariuki- Thank you for dropping by! I agree, these TP roll projects are amazing.. I've got a whole bunch of TP tubes saved up now since I've written this hub. The very bottom project is my own (and was inspired by all of the other projects) but I've yet to try any of these others.. but I am going to give them a try.
