Since 1879, the production of toilet paper has begun with cardboard rolls inside. It was then that all people were divided into those who have ejected those who, on the other hand, collects those who, on the contrary, collects not only in themselves, but also with the whole relatives, acquaintances and neighbors ... If you were surprised to need such nonsense like a roll from Toilet paper, then this article with a huge selection of ideas of their application is addressed to you!
I propose to look at the rolls somewhat wider and take into account not only declared in the title (from toilet paper), but also from paper towels, wrapping paper for gifts, foil, food film, etc.
Most ideas and photographs used in this article are not mine, but found on the Internet.
For ease of search, I specifically grouped all the ideas of reusing rollers from toilet paper on:

- children's crafts, toys (universal);
- crafts for boys;
- crafts for girls;

- decoration (wall decor, windows, decorative wreaths, panels ...);
- themed K. different holidays (most of all to the new year, christmas);
- useful for home and cottage;
- ideas that will be useful for further creativity;
- ideas associated with lighting;
- ideas from the discharge of art that is not so easy to repeat, but I really want to admire.
Games
The tubes are simply plated with colored paper (foil, self-adhesive paper ...) or paint. I made tubes with striped using paper serpentine (which used, for example, for the manufacture of this postcard handmade) And fastening it with a stapler. Then the tubes are made up with a pyramid, a fenceman or as you please. Players are launched on the floor (although you can also throw a ball, trying to knock down all the rollers.
In addition to bowling from carons from toilet paper, you can make chess, checkers and others board games (Although they can already be placed on the table in such a size).
With children, you can play alphabet (or syllables, depending on which method of learning to read you prefer), glued on the base bases from cardboard rollers.

In addition to owls, you can beat the ears in a similar way in the cats, bats (on Halloween) or Batman (and instead of his face, glue the carved photo of the child as an option).
You can make animals more complicated. The roller will be the body of the animal, and the head and limb need to be cut out of cardboard and glue.
There is even a free pattern for animals you see in the photo.
Of course, in the manufacture of such animals, other materials can be used, for example, cotton wands (feet) were used for the manufacturer (fills the body and muffin), cotton balls (wool) and a shaggy wire (horns).

Binoculars are easiest to do this: two toilet paper rolls can be built together with a stapler on both sides, chips around the centimeter from the edge, labeling inside the stapler tubes. Moreover, on each side, twice, changing the direction (so that the bents of brackets watched and left to right and right to left). Bilateral scotch tape colored paper outside. Sille Punch holes on the sides, if you can, insert the blocks (aelets), inhant the rope so that the binoculars can be worn on the neck.
Kaleidoscope:
If you add a cover-cone to the tube, you can get mushroom, rocket ...

In the manufacture of such gift boxes (especially in large quantities) better first do business out dense paper The bend pattern, which is already attached to the folded halice of the flatbed, circle a flat handle (stupid side of scissors, a special tool ...) with all possible four sides of a roll, and then bend it to the "pad".
Gift packaging is a simple "candy", wrapped with soft paper or cloth and tie ribbons on both sides:
Wrap with cloth or soft paper, tie only on one side from above:
Candy or small souvenirs can pack the rocket or in a round box "under Beresto" with a cover (unfortunately, the link is lost):
Decorations (walls, doors, windows ...)
First, you can simply cut the rollers on the rings, flatten into the leaflets and hearts, you can cheat into the glue later in the glitter or artificial snow ...

Surely some of the listed ideas did you like and after reading the article, you will go from the camp throwing rolls from toilet paper to the camp collect them from the whole relatives and acquaintances.
Sometimes our houses turn out to be more materials for creativity than in any special store. Often, the parties are used, leaving paper or cardboard waste, applying which can be significantly saved on the purchase of raw materials and, at the same time, to participate in the processing of garbage.
For example, sleeves from toilet paper, which should not be thrown out, and with their accumulation there will be many ways to use the tubes in the case. We tried to highlight best ideas Crafts from toilet rolls.
Animals
Combining the segments of the tubes at different angles, twigs and, for example, felt it is interesting to create different creatures. Thus, after a few crafts from the bus sleeves, a whole zoo appears.
Slonik
Cut out the paper rectangle in width is equal to two tubes attached to each other, but a little more than two. To one side of the rectangle, fasten two tubes for the ends and also attach to the other side. There should be a caller and four legs-tubes standing vertically.
Glue to the edge of the body's head-tube perpendicular to the legs. From the paper, cut out two circles and stripes, circles glue to the backbone, a little wrapping the tube in the circumference, and the strip glue in the middle of the head is a trunk.
Over the trunk, fasten your eyes for toys that are sold in sewing stores or do a person. To the ends of the Hall of the Elephant Krepim three semicircles on the front each.
Sovuka
Mobile tube in the desired color. After drying, we press your finger from one edge to the middle, then also from the opposite, so that a pointed ears are obtained.
Cut out of paper circles for eyes (two white large, two black small) and for breast (several circles a little less eye), Wings in the tone of the sleeve and triangular key.
Crepping with glue circles on the sleeve in the order of scales, glue the eyes, beak. For these parts, a bulk felt, corrugated or velvet paper can be used.
Bunny
Cut the tube so that it turned out nine rings. One ring is smoothed after cutting and leave for the body, the other is slightly replenish on one side, making a heart, we stick to the body with a rounded part, it will be a bunny's head.
Now from one ring we make a full heart, bringing two ends of two circles deep into the center. Breeping inside the head closer to the connection with the body.
Then the next ring turn into the letter "B" and glue to the body of the straight line from the bottom from the head, the front paws are obtained. Two other rings do the same, cut a circle on one side and, overwhelming, bending to the inside, making a small and large petal. These are two rear paws, and we will attach them on the sides of the body.
To make the ears, we take a part of the circumference in two rings inwards, fastened to the head. It remains to stick the fluffy nose to an inverted heart inside the head and to the nose with a pair of eye from felt.
Taking the basis of this idea, you can hold master classes on crafts from toilet rolls in children's institutions.
Organizer

First glue the bushings with each other so that on the one hand they were on the same level. Strengthen the connection based on. Prayer can or ordinary paint.
It was possible to finish individually all the bushings and the basis of a beautiful cloth. After fixing all parts, we decorate the edges of the bushings by beads, pebbles, oblique baking or lace.

We will need to cut a lot of sleeves on rings. You can bother them in the form of droplets, eye, leave round or cut and make curls.
Panly can consist of a monotonous parts glued together in a circle or from combined different elements, can be glued in order or chaotically.
After gluing together and drying the panel can be painted by a can with a balloon in one color, or if you want a mosaic effect, you can paint each element in a certain color before, and then glue.
It will also not be superfluous to supplement the panel with twigs, the twine, woolen threads, flowers. In addition, it is a panel easily to turn into a useful and designer thing - lampshade, a vase or the foundation for wall clocks.
Caring for birds
