A roll of toilet paper
With the technique we explain to you, you can create something extremely useful for your home and beyond. Are you wondering what you can ever do with a roll of toilet paper when it’s empty?
There are many techniques you can use to recycle this piece of cardboard and bring some truly brilliant ideas to life. The first thing you can do is, for example, a nice 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 surface of your choice – it can also just be a cardboard box – then decorate your rolls with your favorite pens or pencils in the empty rolls.
Did you know that rolls can also become an excellent organization system for the home? For example, you can put socks or even panties in empty toilet paper rolls. Then put them in a box in your drawer. Brilliant idea, right?
However, there are many tricks you can put into practice by reusing buns. They can also be used, for example, to make a frame for a mirror.
It may seem like a complicated thing when you first read it, but if you follow the steps carefully you will see that it will turn out to be a piece of cake! What will you need?
Just a mirror – the classics that you will surely find in the drawers of your desk or in your closet – a few rolls of toilet paper – 5 to be exact – a little 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 completed, when the paint is dry, you will have to press on the rollers and use the scissors to cut small curls from the cardboard.
At this point, take 5 of the two cut rolls and use 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 around the mirror, making sure they have a linear shape. Repeat until all of your cardboard structures go around your mirror. Et voilà, in five minutes you have created a truly extraordinary work of art!
One last idea that we offer you is really delicious. Did you know that you can use toilet paper rolls to give birth to a magnificent seedling? All you have to do is place the seeds of your flower plants in the cardboard coil, which will be closed with an additional base made of paper or strong cotton wool.
Once the first shoots have appeared, you can then plant them in the ground. Do you see how many cute and original ideas there can be by simply reusing waste materials? Toilet paper rolls, as you can read, are becoming an invaluable resource for your home and beyond.
