Useful things to make with toilet roll tubes – zero waste!

Well, I guess you know by now that I’m a bit of a closet zero-waster – and one thing we LOVE in this house, is making stuff, from household ‘waste’ – so we SAVE all of our toilet roll tubes – we do – we do! Today we’ve pulled together a selection of really useful crafts, made from toilet roll cardboard tubes – let’s go!

Total inspiration to get things started from Moms and Crafters – what a cute idea! A pencil pouch, or pencil case – with a zipper too! cool….

With a growing collection of cute little characters – you may want to DISPLAY them all together in one place – look at how simple yet effective this display from Red Ted Art has turned out! –

Flowers!! The shape of the toilet paper tube totally lends itself to the flowers of a petal, just look at Family Food and Faith‘s designs for wall art!

Another great upcycle – toilet roll tubes, and Pringle tubes – and I say this, as I’ve been reading about how just UN recyclable Pringle tubes are – is this wonderful CASTLE by Adventure in a Box.

And if you are looking for something to do with smaller kids, how very cute are these bugs birds, and butterflies – starting with these Lady Bugs (or as we call them, ladybirds!) From I heart crafty things blog…

Kids Chaos has it all covered (literally, in Peanut Butter) with this ingenious toilet paper roll bird feeder… 

Closely followed by butterflies – awwww…. Lovely for your own Messy Little Monster – get those hands in some paint!
