I’ve been saving toilet paper rolls for the past few weeks intending to do something with them. Our bathroom looks like we are living during the Great Depression and we may have to warm ourselves up by burning them in the fire place (this could end up happening some day).
If you google TP Rolls and Halloween, a wonderful variety of ideas come up. My brother and sister in law and nieces were visiting this past weekend, and I thought it would be a perfect time to experiment with the rolls and see what we could make, using some of the googled ideas as a starting point. The main benefits for TP roll crafts: free and easy. You may need to invest in some acrylic paint, pipe cleaners and googly eyes, but that’s about it!

| “Helllooooo there, nobody puts ghost in the corner!” |
 |
| Children’s heads in photos prove that children made these crafts! |
Here is a list of some creatures we made, using paint, googly eyes, glue, cardboard and pipe cleaners:
 |
| Googly eyes make the world a better place… |
 |
| Yes, that’s a second green monster, not a repeat photo. |
 |
| Bat and Spider! A power couple! |
 |
| Mummies certainly look confused about being alive… |
 |
| Purple guy is so happy! |
What else what can make with TP rolls? Basically anything. You can use them for Christmas crafts, Fourth of July, Easter, Lughnasadh, Diwali, Mother’s Day, Summer, Spring, list goes to infinity. TP rolls are like the most useful base for any crafts that I’ve ever found, besides the fact that they are cardboard and everything soaks and destroys them. But you get my point…
