This was not going to be my first discussion of today, but I could not resist sharing this link to crafts from toilet paper rolls. It stands to reason that after we have used all the TP we have gathered, the roll of cardboard will be left. One of the other sites I am on always has a link I have to look at to earn points. Today it was an entire page of crafts for all seasons made from toilet paper rolls. Things I did not see, maybe because I did not look, are 1. roll sewing notions on them, like that massive amount of elastic you bought to make masks. It will be easier to store, keep untangled and roll off to use. 2. cut and fold the bottom in, fill with potting soil and start seeds. It is a biodegradable little pot. I think I will do this. 2. Stack and glue these inside a box to make a garage for little cars. Kind of like a honey comb. Do not let the boredom set in, it will damage your well being while you try to stay well from the virus.

I made some Christmas craft using the inside of the toilet paper, but nothing as beautiful as those things.

@GardenGerty Decorations for the tree, Christmas stars, a Christmas wreath, candle holders and also a Christmas tree. I found the ideas searching YouTube.

Those are wonderful ideas. I just recycle them.

I put them in the recycle, but right now we do not have recycling.

I might try to come up with something for Bible School if we have it in August.

we save them sometimes to make them into peanut butter and birdseed bird feeders

That is a good use. I have covered pine cones with peanut butter and birdseed in the past.

@GardenGerty if I have those, ive done that, they arent super common in Missouri, or what we have are the floppy ones, rather than the nice hard larger ones

I do not get around to doing crafts. I used to put them in recycling, but recycling stopped around here.

If you do not have time or interest, then that is best.

Our challenge is after we do it, there are far too many and we ended up having to throw them away as well.

Do you fill them with laundry lint to do so, or just the rolls?

Certainly we need to keep ourselves occupied in any way we can.

I have lots of things to do. It would be one more thing. I think I saw owls made of them once.

I may try to do some of these, or plan for VBS.
