Turn Simple Toilet Paper Rolls Into The Cutest Mini Storage Solution

You love crafting and you're in the mood to make something new for your home, but you don't have a lot of time to spare. These are the moments that call for the quickest, simplest DIY projects — you just need something to satisfy that urge to create. We've got just the hack, and all you need is an empty toilet paper roll. While there are several ways to make use of your empty toilet paper rolls with creative home organization DIYs, this idea by Instagrammer earth_and_sky_play couldn't be easier. In under an hour, you'll make a bunch of beautiful and functional storage pockets you can mount to the wall or stick to the door of your fridge. Just press, fold, and glue the base of an empty toilet paper roll and you're done!

These mini creations are arguably one of the best storage ideas for keeping small items organized without hogging space. They're perfect for holding everything from crayons, pencils, brushes, and other art supplies in a kids' room to dried flowers or greenery in a kitchen. Mount them to the wall in your craft corner or simply add them to a gallery wall in your living room and enjoy them as decor. Start by gathering one or more empty toilet paper tubes, a hot glue gun, and some Mr. Pen- Self Adhesive Magnet Dots. You'll also need crayons, paint pens, or other coloring tools to decorate the cardboard tube. Lock in your embellishments, too — cute Foiburely Button Stickers, a set of Willbond Wooden Beads in assorted colors, shapes, and sizes, and some ribbon or twine.

Ready to upcycle empty toilet paper rolls into the most unique wall decor that doubles as storage? Begin by gently flattening one end of the tube with your hands. Fold the flattened edge toward the other end of the tube. Add a thin line of hot glue along the folded edge and press it back onto the cardboard. Hold it in place for a few seconds until the glue dries. That's it! Now you can customize your mini storage pockets to match your decor. We encourage you to go all out with your creativity.

For a neutral yet rustic look, use a white or soft pastel crayon or paint pen to add polka dots, stripes, or swirls to the tube, then finish with a twine bow. Alternatively, glue on small decorative items, like buttons, dried flower buds, or cute accents from this set of Fulusodo Flat-Back Mixed Resin Ornaments, including bows, frogs, rainbows, mushrooms, and more. For a more glamorous look, spray paint the pockets metallic gold, then stick on a few sparkly MMonDod Gem Stickers.

To mount your mini storage pocket to a metal surface, like your refrigerator or a Lyzzxi Magnetic Wall Board, stick a magnetic dot on the back. You could also use Command strips to attach the pocket to the wall. Fill your creation with craft supplies, stationery, dried or faux flowers, or any little knickknacks that don't yet have a home. You could also use the pockets as party favor bags. Leave off the magnet or Command strips, create a carry-handle with twine, and fill them with candy and small toys.
