Since we celebrated Earth Day this month, I thought we should see a few "recycling" ideas. Last week was crafts with cans. This week, let's see what we create with the empty toilet paper (and paper towel) rolls. What projects have you created using yours? Here are a few I've found! Watch out!!! They are incredible!!!
Jump back! Who thought TP rolls could be so sophisticated and stylish? The How-To Gal is in the know!!!! She made this gorgeous turquoise wall art for her master bedroom from TP rolls and I'm not joking. See how it is made HERE.



Not only is TP roll art sophisticated enough for the master bedroom, it is classy enough for the fireplace mantle. Go HERE to see another creation of The How-To Gal.

Something Wonderful has two brilliant ideas for using TP rolls - to organize cords and to act as little packages. Go HERE to see how these are done!


How cute is this giraffe made from TP rolls? Wouldn't this be fun to make with your kids? I can envision a whole shelf of TP roll animals after seeing this post at Crafts By Amanda. Go HERE.


Pretty little flowers all over the walls can be made with humble TP rolls. This is beautiful. See more about it at Simpsonized Crafts. Go HERE.

Use your TP rolls to decorate a frame link (Kevin and) Gillian did. Go HERE to see how she created this. You will never guess what this mini-book is made out of! If you said, TP rolls then you must be a crafty genius. Thingamabobs and Doodads shows this idea HERE. You really must go visit to see how incredible this idea is!!!!!! There is photos in it and everything! (Make this for Mother's Day!)If you are a very patient and precise person, try this cut out tree branches from the TP roll. This is amazing. See more about this at Design Sponge. GO HERE.
These lovely flowers on this lovely wreath are made from.... paper towel rolls. I know you were going to say TP rolls!!!!! See how to make this at Let's Go Fly A Kite. GO HERE.
