Toilet paper rolls are one of those things that we seem to toss without a second thought. However, they’re actually useful for a ton of different things around the house. You’d be surprised how versatile they really are! So the next time you go to recycle them, consider these hacks first.
1. Wrapping Paper Saver
Wrapping paper becomes difficult to store when it’s been used and is out of its protective packaging. Just slip a toilet paper roll onto the sleeve to keep the paper organized and protected from rips and tears.
2. Pencil Holder
How chic are these gold pencil holders? Can you believe that they’re just toilet paper rolls spray-painted gold, then attached together?
3. Cord Organizers
Instead of having tangled cords lying around in a pile, organize them neatly by storing them in toilet paper rolls! You can even decorate them with cute designs.
4. Bird Feeder
To make your own bird feeder, just coat a toilet paper roll in peanut butter, then roll it in birdseed. You can attach a string to the hollow part to hang it from a tree or hook.
5. Small Gift Boxes
You don’t need to buy gift boxes for jewelry and other small items when you can just make your own using toilet paper rolls. All you have to do is fold down the ends, then add whatever ribbon or other decorations (like stamps) you like.
6. Glasses Case
If you’re always misplacing your eyeglass cases, save yourself a trip to the store and make your own using a toilet paper roll.

9. Happy Snowmen
Speaking of Christmas crafts, how darling are these little snowmen? All you need are a few toilet paper rolls, some googly eyes, ribbon, marker, and any other decorations you want.
10. Cat Toy
Why buy expensive cat toys when you can make your own? All you need are toilet paper rolls, scissors, and a stapler. Guinea pigs, bunnies, and other small critters would also appreciate these.
11. Seedling Pots
Toilet paper rolls are the perfect environments for growing seedlings.
12. Birthday Crowns
Are these sweet, or are these sweet? These adorable little crowns would be perfect for a children’s birthday party (or even for an adult’s!).
