10+ Crafts Using Toilet Paper Rolls

I always save our toilet paper rolls when they’re empty, then use them for crafting. It’s such a cheap way to upcycle. Plus, if the craft doesn’t come out exactly as planned, well, the only supplies I wasted were literal trash anyway. To inspire you, I put together this list of 10+ Crafts Using Toilet Paper Rolls.

A bunch of them are seasonal, since I usually do more crafting around holidays. But some of them are generic.

I made all but one of them myself (the ghosts I just supervised).

Don’t consider these just toilet paper roll crafts for adults though. The only reason I didn’t make them with kids is because we don’t have kids to make them with.

As I add more toilet paper roll crafts to the blog, I’ll update this list. So definitely bookmark this and check back periodically. I have a lot of craft ideas using empty toilet paper rolls left to make, just not enough empty toilet paper rolls to upcycle.

That’s the downfall of living with just one other person.
