Wrap ribbon, twine, or small scraps of fabric around the rolls to prevent tangles.
Stack them in a basket or drawer for an organized craft area.
8. DIY Stamp and Paint Tools
Bend the end of a roll into a specific shape (like a heart or star) and use it as a stamp.
Dip the roll in paint and press it onto paper for a unique pattern.
Great for children’s art projects or custom wrapping paper.
9. Homemade Pet Toys
Stuff the roll with hay, treats, or crumpled paper for a fun rabbit or guinea pig toy.
Let your cat bat it around or chew on it—it’s a safe, simple, and disposable plaything.
10. Fire Starters
Fill the roll with dryer lint or small bits of shredded paper, then fold the ends inward.
Use these as kindling for a campfire or fireplace—cardboard burns cleanly and ignites easily.
Conclusion
With a little imagination, the humble cardboard toilet paper roll can be transformed into a useful and creative resource. These simple projects reduce waste, save money, and add a personal touch to your home or garden. Next time, think twice before tossing that roll—its potential may surprise you!
