30 Kids Crafts To Make With Empty Toilet Rolls

These toiler roll crafts are designed for kids to make using recycled toilet roll cardboard inserts. They are great for crafting with as they are readily available and quite often free if you ask around to friends families and parents. If you are making some of these DIY cardboard toilet paper roll crafts with a class then put a call out a few weeks in advance so that parents can start collecting the toilet roll tubes for you. This will bring down the cost of your Kids craft lesson or art class dramatically.

Most of these crafts use basic painting supplies, washi tape and glue. With such a variety of different kids craft projects, we hope we have covered a tutorial to suit your needs. If you can’t find what you are after feel free to drop us a line and we will help you look for a craft tutorial. We also have this category just for toilet paper crafts.

Maybe you have your own tutorial to share with us? We hope to grow this list as time goes by so comment below with your Toilet paper tube lists and we will add them to this mega list.

Did you know that more than eight billion rolls of toilet paper, bath tissue or toilet tissue as it is sometimes referred to are sold yearly in the U.S.A. It is guesstimated that the average person uses 23 rolls each per year. I don’t know about you but that seems a little low to me.

Recently we changed to the thick rolls which are triple length, so now we only have to change them a 1/3 as often, which is great cause no one in the house changes the toilet roll except me.

It might seem a little early (if you’re reading this when I’m writing this) to be thinking abut the holiday season, but cross stitching takes time, and if you want to stitch a bunch of gifts or decor for the season, that’s going to take some time.

Merry Stitchmas by Emma Congdon is here to inspire you to get your holiday stitching started, with 24 fun and colorful designs. You’ll find wall hangings, ornaments, stockings, bunting, greeting cards and gift tags, cute letters made out of decorated gift boxes, another set of drop shadow letters, stylized snowflake hoop art and more.

There are folk art figures, a festive patchwork and plenty of word art, with lots of bold and not always traditional colors to go around.

Some of my favorites include the bold graphic lettering on the ho, ho, ho bunting banner and the collection of little stamps, which she shows all stitched together but would also be cute stitched as individual gift tags or you could even make a stitched card with a fabric envelope and use one of these as a stamp.

The charts are large and colorful and provide options for personalization and spelling preferences. One design says “My favorite color is Christmas lights” and it includes charts for both British and American spellings. Rows are numbered and the color key is in the center of the page spread, which could make it a little hard to read (I reviewed this in PDF so I’m not sure if the margin is big enough to keep the key out of the gutter).

The back of the book includes instructions for how to stitch and read charts as well as making up instructions for finishing projects in the various ways shown in the book such as a wall hanging, framed picture, stockings, a pillow, hoop art and gift tags. There are also templates in the back for the shapes used.

This is a sweet book for people who like their holiday decor a little traditional but a little modern at the same time.

About the book: 136 pages, paperback, 24 patterns. Published 2025 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
