I don’t know about you, but at our house we go through a lot of toilet paper. I’m surrounded by endless empty rolls that no one seems to remember to replace, except me. Don’t you hate realizing there is an empty roll after it is too late? Because I have supply of rolls, I try to reuse them whenever possible. These cute little holders make great Easter decorations and no one has to know there were any bums involved.
You’ll need:
One sheet of scrapbook paper (change it to reflect the season or holiday)
scissors
tape or glue
empty toilet paper rolls
To make the project cut a piece of scrapbook paper large enough to cover the toilet paper roll and extend over the end of each side by 1/2 inch. Tape the scrapbook paper to the roll. Fold ends down and tape them inside of the roll. Cut a circle approximately 1/2 larger than the bottom of the roll from the scrapbook paper. Glue or tape into place on the bottom of the roll. Fill the roll with tissue paper or with confetti paper. Add lollipops or treats to the top. These make cute place holders and simple low cost treats too.
Now that you know what to do with all those loose toilet paper rolls, let’s get down and dirty (pun intended), and talk about our personal care routine. If you have kids you know that asking them, “Do you have to go?” before you leave home is a loaded question. They’ll automatically say “No” and magically have to go as soon as you a) get on the road or b) arrive at your destination. Sometimes the cleanliness of public bathrooms leaves a lot to be desired and, wait for it, there is no toilet paper in the stalls! To combat this problem I have begun to include Cottonelle Cleansing Clothes in my purse. They have saved our bums on many occasions. As for traveling? We don’t leave home without them. They keep us clean from head to toe. Sticky messes, spills, bathroom mishaps, whatever, these wipes are there for us.
The Cottonelle® Fresh Care Flushable Cleansing Cloths feature SafeFlush Technology, so they not only offer you a confident clean but also start to break down immediately after flushing. (Do you hate clogs as bad as I do? Guess who is the person who is usually home to work on them?)
Product Details:
– Flushable
– Break up after flushing
– Sewer- and septic-safe
– Alcohol-free
– OneTouch dispensing tub
– Great for the entire family
We pair the Flushable Cleansing Clothes with two-ply Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper. It’s strong and effective for a confident clean and has tuggable, huggable softness that goes a long way.

Those treat holders are so cute! It’s amazing what a little creativity can do with a roll of toilet paper!
That seems awesome. Some other blogger recommended Cottonelle, well I guess it’s how you guys love it! Not sure what brand we’re using really LOL! I’ll take a look 🙂
I use Cottonelle for many years! This is a cute diy using simple toilet paper roll!!
Cute idea for the candy holders! I’ve tried to come up with different crafts for Bubbles and I to try to reuse those cardboard tubes, too.
Love recycling projects…there is almost always something that can be done with things we’d otherwise put in a landfill.
We use these Cottonelle wipes too! They are GREAT!
What a cute and creative idea! We usually just toss ours. I just might give this a try with my nieces, nephews and godkids
Flushable wipes aka baby wipes for grown up are such a great idea! It is nice to be able to get so clean when you wipe.
Those are adorable. Who would have thought?!
Great article. Guess that proves the saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Can’t wait to repurpose my toilet paper rolls!
Cute idea!! It’s been a while since I did a project with toilet paper rolls…..may do this one with my class next week!!
This looks like a fun project for the kiddies. Cute idea 🙂
Cottonelle is my favorite toilet paper brand. I love the flushable wipes too! This is a great craft!
What a cute idea. Great way to upcycle!
Cute project – perfect for Isa to make. Cottonelle is a very good product – a name I trust.
We love these products in our house also. They are simply the best. I take the wipes with me when I travel because you never know what kind of toilet paper you are going to get.
I love your idea for the dressing up the toilet paper roll. Very creative.
What a great way to reuse something that was only destined for the trash can!
Toilet paper rolls are so great to craft with!
I love this idea. I may have to do this with my kiddos this weekend.
Reusing toilet paper rolls is a fantastic things to do when kids want to get a little crafty. And, even my 10 year old will on occasionally decide he needs to go just minutes after we hit the road.
Too cute! These would also be great for little May Day Baskets!
Super cute! I love cottonelle toilet paper. Nice and soft on the tush
Cute idea! I am so afraid of running out of toilet paper. I always keep a huge stock pile!
How creative. What a great way to repurpose!! We love Cottonelle here!
We have never used these yet, but heard great things. I think I may get some when we travel
What a cute little holder always so nice to make something new again 🙂 x
I think it is awesome that you repurposed the to roll into something so pretty and springy.
Those are so cute and easy to make. I will see if my youngest wants to make them – trying to get him into crafts but he is resisting.
What a cute idea… I never think of reusing anything… this is awesome.
We love crafting with our TP rolls! Great idea! Gotta love those wipes! They sure are handy in this large family!
Such a great way to upcycle! I love reusing items like that and making them pretty. Very Cute!
I like keeping the flushable wipes in my house, and often buy this brand.
those are too cute and great way to make something pretty out of left over toilet paper holders.
I use Cottonelle in my home and am loving the craft you came up with.
Great idea to reuse them! Love that they’re simple and colorful!
This is a cute candy holder idea! We keep the paper tubes for crafts so we’ll have to try this!
That’s a great idea! There’s never a shortage of extra TP rolls. There are also usually scraps of wrapping paper lying around that are too small for gifts that could work in a bind.
What a great way to re-use toilet paper rolls – and so cute too! I have been using them a lot lately to start seeds for my garden 🙂
Great re-purposing! I love the pic with the cat, too 🙂
What a cute idea! This would be fun for my son’s class.
I love re-using old toilet paper rolls to make fun kids crafts with
I save all of our toilet paper rolls – they come in handy for crafts like this all the time. Cute kitty by the way!
Love Cottonelle Such A Great Product!!
Love these wipes, mostly because you can flush them and they clean without falling apart!
Hmm, I don’t do anything with them besides throw them out. That’s an interesting idea, looks cute.
My Parents had some of these and I tide one the other day, boy it was so much better than just regular toilet paper! Next time I go to the store i’ll be picking some up!
Your kitty! Oh, so sweet! Anyhow, I love doing crafts with toilet paper rolls. They’re the perfect size for little hands to work with.
Cute and creative idea! And your cat is adorable! I love black cats. 🙂
I used to recycle TP rolls when my Daughter was young, now I don’t do anything with them. I haven’t tried their flushable wipes yet. I know sometimes when I travel, I wish I had any kind of a wipe. You get into those bathrooms in some gas stations and you are lucky to find toilet paper at all.
A grand idea. Verry creative and I love it!
We are in love with the flushable wipes here in our house. I love your idea to use those extra TP rolls up, too! Great way to recycle.
