As scrapbookers, it’s also our responsibility to give our share in saving Mother Earth. What better way to this by recycling the packaging of our scrapbooking items or even those household items which we think have no use anymore like those toilet paper tubes. These are cardboard tubes left after the toilet paper is all consumed. You can give these toilet paper tubes a new look and transform these into something of use. If you are planning for a party (note: I picked Tea Party for this tutorial), you may try using toilet paper tubes to make some of your party favours like decor holder, invitation holder, tea bag holder, napkin holder/ring and party give‐away.
Materials / Supplies needed:
Step-by-step instructions:
There are 4 parts to this tutorial...
1. How to make a decor holder
a) Get one piece of toilet paper tube and paint one end with acrylic paint.
b) Cover the toilet paper tube with patterned paper.
c) Obtain a cardboard (may come from packaging of most scrapbooking items. Trace onto the cardboard the rounded end of the toilet paper tube then cut it.
d) Adhere patterned paper to the round cardboard from Step 1c) and attach this to one end of the toilet paper tube.
e) Embellish using trims and stickers. (You may use other embellishments of your choice.)
f) Here’s the finished product.
2. How to make an invites holder
a) Get another piece of toilet paper tube and flatten it.
b) Cover the flattened toilet paper tube with patterned paper. Punch two holes on one sides of the flattened toilet paper tube.
c) Insert the ribbon into the holes and tie.
d) Embellish with ribbons, lace or trims, alpha stickers, flowers and blings. You may now place the invitation inside.

There will be an excess of around 1 ½ inches of the tissue wrapper at each of the ends. Tie these with ribbon.
