Toilet Paper Rolls: What Can I Do With Them?

Honestly, I’m amazed. I didn’t think you could do anything with toilet paper rolls! I am obviously proven wrong. I might have to try the toilet paper roll ornament, seriously! It doesn’t look anything like a TP roll when it’s finished! Oh – and I HAVE to do the pixelated boy. HAVE TO!

Man… this has got to be the weirdest post yet. I mean.. just thinking about using toilet paper rolls kind of freaks me out – but they have been crafted with! What a unique way to recycle!

By now, everyone should know how I feel about overpriced stuff that can be easily made on your own.

Making your own ring bearer pillows will be so much more personalized than buying a mass-produced one. It will be a lot cheaper too! You want your wedding to be original, right?

Lucky for me, I have two ring bearers, so I get to make two! Yay!

Here are some great tutorials that I’ve come across in my search for making my own. When I get around to making my own, I will be sure to post my tutorial and plenty of photos! For now, just click on the photos below to go to a tutorial that interests you.
