Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

Our first craft challenge was to make something Spring themed out of toilet paper rolls and the ideas that everyone came up with were GREAT!  I meant to share these links to other tp tube projects with that post but forgot, so here are a bunch of projects I’ve found from around the internet.  You know, when I used to think of making crafts from toilet paper rolls, it was always children’s crafts but check out these links and you’ll see that the humble tp tube has now become quite sophisticated and can be used for not only adorable kids’ crafts but really lovely adult ones as well!

If you hung this in your home, I bet no one would have any clue that it was made from toilet paper tubes.  It is gorgeous!

A variety of cute animals – they used them for Valentine’s Day but they could be used anytime.  How about a whole zoo of tp tube animals?

A really novel idea – pixel art made from cardboard tubes

Finally, you have to see what these artists are doing with paper tubes.  Intricate dioramas, amazing faces, and more – you just can’t imagine how stunning these are!

    Thank you for these great ideas. I have a hotel in the mountains in the Andes in Peru, and have a lot of rolls left over, and a number of village children who need artistic encouragement. Thanks for having them together.
