Now you can have extra rolls of toilet paper nearby when you need them, without it looking like a mess. This guide will show you how easy it is to make a pretty container for toilet paper from things you have at home. Choose a color that suits the bathroom décor to add a nice touch

Difficulty level: Beginners

Instructions:

Materials:
Toilet paper
2 or 3 identical round plastic lids
Cardboard – the width should big enough to go around a toilet paper roll at least 1.5 times. The height depends on how many rolls you want to store.
Wrapping paper or leftover wall paper
Plastic bottle cap
Glue
Tape
Ruler
String
Scissors
Pen

Check to see if one of the round plastic lids is slightly larger than the toilet paper roll.

Measure the inside of the lid with a string

Measure the length of the string. Use the strings length to mark the cardboard for where to make a vertical line.

Roll up the right side of the cardboard until the right edge meets the line you drew.

Overlap and do not cut. Tape the tube you made securely in place.
Put the tube on one lid and cover with the second lid to see if there is a good fit

Remove the tube from the lids.
Glue one end of your wrapping paper or wall paper to the tube.
Make a fold at the other end of the paper to have a neat edge.

Bring the neat edge around and glue it in place.

Press the extra paper at the side over the edge.

Press all around and straighten it out inside. Glue the paper to the inside of the tube.
Repeat on the other end.

If your lid has ugly printing on the top, use the third lid to cut out a circle big enough to cover the print.

Glue the circle to the center of one cover and then glue a bottle cap on top of it in the center.

Put the tube on one lid, fill it with toilet paper rolls and cover with the lid with the cap.

Your pretty container is ready for your convenience and to decorate your bathroom!

Tips

You can use the same paper to cover a tissue box to make a matching set.
