30 Kids Crafts To Make With Empty Toilet Rolls

April 22, 2019 by Shellie Wilson

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.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
