It might sound weird or strange, but toilet paper tubes are great for lots of different projects. They can be recycled and reused in many ways and most of the projects are quite inspiring. We’ve selected a few ideas for you to take a look at. Maybe you’d like to try some yourself these days.

Easy gift packing from tubes.

We’re going to start with something simple and fun: treats. Here’s what you need for this project: toilet paper rolls, hot glue, paper ribbon, mod podge, small candy, a ruler, labels, scrapbook and scissors.

Measure the width of the tube and then wrap it in paper. Apply a coat of mod podge and let dry. Then bend one end of the tube down and then the other side as well. Flip the tube over and fill it with candy. Bend the ends on the other side as well and add the ribbon.{found on violetpaperwings}.

Race cars.

Another fun idea would be to make race cars out of toilet paper rolls. First gather some tubes and colored paper. Wrap them in paper, each in a different color. Cut the wheels out of cardboard and paint them black. Add a small white circle in the center. Cut out a space in the tubes foe drivers to fit in and don’t forget about the steering wheel. At the end paint the numbers on the cars and have fun.{found onkiflieslevendula}.

They will now be neatly stored and they’ll also be all in one place.

DIY Wreath.

You can also use toilet paper tubes to make all sorts of decorations for your home. For example, you could make a wreath. It’s actually pretty simple. First collect around 20 toilet paper rolls. Flatten the rolls and cut them into strips of about 1.5’’ wide. Use a plate or something round and a guide and then create a base for the wreath. Use hot glue to keep the pieces together. Continue to arrange them in a circle until you’re happy with the design.{found on site}.

We’ve just presented you a project that shows you how to turn a toilet paper tube into a planter for the seeds. Here’s a similar project.

It’s nice to see all the plants in one place and to compare their progress.
