Wasted Wednesday

WASTED WEDNESDAY

Hello all.... It's Wednesday! Today's Wasted Wednesday project is for something we all have, will always have and have no choice but to love.... yep! you guessed it! Toilet Paper Rolls. Toilet paper rolls have many cute uses for projects and fun things to do with the kids we've all seen the bunnies and the cute little cars but today we're going to look at some of the less common but still really cool uses for toilet paper rolls to ensure nothing goes to waste!

Another great thing about Toilet paper rolls is that you can always just recycle them as well... but these ideas are much more fun!

Don't Recycle!? WTF? (Where's The Facility) you ask? Visit Recycle Finder a great resource that will show you all the local recycling facilities in your area and even lets you modify your search by items! Everything from ewaste (electronics) to plain ol trash and even some info on turning that trash into treasure and getting paid for scrap!


Ok! Back to the Good stuff. Toilet Paper Rolls! ;-)

Check out this lovely wall art! so cool and adds visual interest to the space and can be customized in any size or any color to fit your decor!


This first idea comes from "the how to gal"  Check out her how to here: http://www.howtogal.com/2009/04/trash-to-treasure-turquoise-tp-art.html



Our next idea is so unique and was created for Halloween decor. I think they are cool enough to be part of your decor all year long. ( I'm putting mine in the bathroom) They are covered in hot glue so that should help protect them against moisture. These candle holders remind me of this large candle holder I saw outside of a restaurant when I was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was covered in wax from all the burning candles and I fell in love with it instantly and have been trying to "recreate" the look ever since for items in my shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/222Lane?ref=pr_shop_more Stay tuned for those! But until then check out these beauties...


This great idea comes from Design DNA find the How To here: http://stirizsisters.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/toilet-paper-roll-candles.html
