How to reuse toilet paper rolls
How many times have you thrown toilet paper rolls in the trash or burned them in the fire if you have a fireplace? Next time, wait 5 minutes before throwing them away. Did you know they can be reused? Give them a second chance
With the technique we’ll explain you, you’ll create something extraordinarily useful for your home and beyond. Are you wondering what to do with a toilet paper roll once it’s used up?
There are many techniques you can use to recycle this piece of cardboard and bring really brilliant ideas to life. For example, the first thing you can do is to make a beautiful pen holder!
Well, all you have to do is get 5 or 6 rolls of toilet paper, attach them together and place them on a support of your choice – it can also be simply a cardboard box – then decorate your rolls and finally put your favorite pens or pencils in the empty rolls.
Did you know that rolls can also be an excellent home organization system, among other things? For example, you can put socks or even underwear in the empty toilet paper rolls. Then put them in a box in your drawer. Brilliant idea, right?
However, there are many tricks that you can put into practice by reusing rolls. For example, they can also be used to make a frame for a mirror.
At first glance, it may seem complicated, but if you follow the steps carefully, you will see that it is child’s play! What will you need?
Just a mirror – the classic ones that you will surely find in your desk drawers or in your closet – a few toilet paper rolls – 5 to be exact – some spray paint and finally a hot glue gun.
The first thing you need to do is spray the paint on the outside and inside of the toilet paper rolls and let it dry. Once this step is complete and the paint is dry, you need to press on the rollers and cut small cardboard curls with scissors.
Now take 5 of the two cut rolls and attach them with hot glue. Glue the ends of your four rolls together to form “caps”. Take the fifth roll and put some glue on the bottom. Then place it in the middle of the other four rolls that you glued previously.
Finally, place them all around the mirror, making sure they have a linear shape. Repeat this until all your cardboard structures go around your mirror. And in five minutes you will have created a truly extraordinary work of art!
One last idea that we suggest is really delicious. Did you know that you can grow a magnificent plant from toilet paper rolls? All you have to do is place the seeds of your flower plants in the cardboard roll, which is closed with an additional paper base or strong cotton wool.
Once the first shoots have appeared, you can then repot them in the soil. Have you seen how many cute and original ideas can arise just by reusing waste materials? Toilet paper rolls, as you can read, become a very valuable resource for your home and beyond.
