What you need

  • 24 regular toilet paper rolls
  • Hot glue
  • 7 1/4" x 10 3/4" piece of cardboard
  • Spray paint OR Eco-friendly paint

Directions

  1. Stand all toilet paper rolls on end and using hot glue, place a small dab between each roll so they all stick together. Arrange in 4 rows of 6 rolls.
  2. Hot glue your sheet of cardboard to the base of all the rolls. If you have a bigger sheet, trim to size with scissors once glued to the base. Let dry for 5 minutes.
  3. Spray paint your caddy. Done!
    Tip: This is a recycling project perfect for Earth Day. You can use eco-friendly paint instead of spray paint.
