ideas for upcycling toilet rolls
The last post was about raising seedlings and I had a picture of how we raise seedlings in toilet rolls. This isn’t a novel idea by any means, however today’s post does include some novel and inventive ways to reuse the humble dunny roll.
Pictured right is just one example. Who would have thought that this gorgeous pin cushion was made from recycled toilet rolls? You can find the tutorial on how to make it at Michele Made Me.
There are a couple of Christmas ideas below too – just in time to start making your Christmas decorations in plenty of time before the season starts.

Wow some clever and easy ideas to keep my kids busy during the school holidays. And with a family of 5, and 4 of us being female, it doesn’t take us long to collect a decent stash of loo rolls. Bring on the toilet roll art and craft!
