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.

Circular knitting machines are a lot of fun, and one of the best ways I have found to use them is to make seasonal decor and toys. I guess that’s because these are the kinds of projects that I don’t want to spend a ton of time on but still want to make from time to time.

That’s not to say that knitting machine projects can’t be detailed and time consuming. And really the great ones are those that take the time to add fun details to make the finished project that much more interesting.

Like these adorable dinosaurs from Three Magic Sheep Co. The pattern includes instructions for a triceratops and a stegosaurus. Here they’re shown in coordinating candy colors, which I love, but you can of course make yours in any color you like.

The larger pieces of the body and legs are worked on either a 46 or 48 pin machine, while the smaller parts are worked on a 22-pin machine. I don’t know if a lot of people have both but the 22 pin machines are so inexpensive it’s nice to have both for projects like this. I’m not sure what she used for the triceratops horns, but in customer pictures on the listing it shows people have made them with both knitting and crochet so you can do that, too, instead of buying horns to use.

The details on these are really cute (you will want to buy safety eyes, or you can embroider eyes on if you’d rather) and customers note it takes longer to sew the pieces together than it does to crank them.

This looks like a fun pair of patterns to make for a dinosaur loving kiddo (or adult!) in your life. You can check out the pattern and all the customer comments and photos at Three Magic Sheep Co. on Etsy.
