30 Kids Crafts To Make With Empty Toilet Rolls

by

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.

Toilet paper rolls can also be bought on craft stores like amazon.

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.

Printable Cross Stitch Sheets Make it Easy to Cross Stitch on Clothes

Lately I have been feeling like all of my clothes are looking a little worn or feeling a little tired. I don’t want to buy new clothes, though, so there’s been a lot of mending, altering and adding special touches to things that otherwise might get overlooked or not worn at all. 

As an example, not too long ago I added a little bit of embroidery to a T-shirt, which was a lot of fun to do and made me start eyeing all my solid-colored garments and wondering how they might look with some stitching added. 

Of course you can cross stitch on garments, too, whether T-shirts or woven tops, skirts, pants and more. But it can be tricky to transfer cross stitch designs to your garment to make stitching easier. 

Much like with embroidery, it’s great to use a water soluble stabilizer to keep your fabric in place while you stitch and to transfer your design (or your cross stitch grid at least) while you’re stitching. Then you just wash away the stabilizer when you’re done and it will look like the stitching has always been there. 

Ashley General Handmade uses Sulky Stick ‘n Stitch, which is a product I use, too. It’s easy to use and washes away cleanly. 

To make it even easier, she designed some printable cross stitch grids at different counts that you can print out to draw your own cross stitch designs, but you can also print the grid right on the Sulky, so you can stitch on top of squares and then remove them when you’re done. 

Brilliant, right? 

She has pages as big as 8 count and all the way down to 20 (remember: the bigger the number the smaller the stitches will be) that you can download and print to make your own designs and also use to make stitching on clothing easier. I’m definitely going to try this the next time I want to cross stitch on fabric!

You can grab her printables over at Ashley General Handmade.
