79 Cool Toilet Paper Roll Crafts You NEED TO SEE!

Now our love affair with Toilet Paper Roll Crafts goes a LONG WAY BACK! In fact, I think one of our first 5 or so kids crafts here on Red Ted Art all those year’s ago was a craft made out of the oh so humble TP Roll!!!! We love crafting with TP Rolls.. they are plentiful, pretty much EVERYONE has them.. and toilet paper rolls are surprisingly versatile! They are also free. And go well with our love of free craft resources, such as our Nature Crafts for Kids, we also adore Newspaper DIYs…. so without too much further ado… let’s see what you can make out of the humble Loo Roll!!!!! There is nothing quite like a Easy Toilet Paper Roll Crafts for kids!

Remember, we LOVE TP Roll Crafts here on Red Ted Art and will be adding more over time. So do make this your first port of call if you are looking for something specific to make out of TP Rolls.. alternatively, leave me a comment below if you can’t find what you are looking for!!

Toilet Paper Roll Marionettes

Oh yes, we LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of using toilet paper rolls to make marionettes! It all started with our “Giraffes Can’t Dance” puppets and suddenly we knew.. MORE marionettes needed to be made!

Toilet Paper Roll Binoculars

TP Roll Binoculars are SUCH a childhood classic, that we have in fact made several versions of them over the years – decorated in all sorts of manners… and “not decorated” at all (my kids frequently turn up with taped together TP Rolls dangling from their necks).. but if you do want to decorate and maybe use some handy printables here or there, check out these themed Toilet Paper Roll Binoculars!
