Our local animal shelter collects PT and TP rolls for the gerbils and mice to sleep or play in. They also collect empty tissue boxes for small animal nesting. They also make a great playhouse for the smaller animals.

@sbella1607 Год назад

Just like any cardboard product it can also be mulched up with water and compressed into a "log" that could be burned for heating.

I have Many people saving toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls for me because I am a worm farmer! I run them through my Shredder and make tiny crinkled pieces out of them and use them as bedding for my worms. It is also food for my Worms! This is a very good video. I will subscribe. One thing I like about it is that you are speaking in English and explaining what you're doing. You're not hurrying like others do!!!!!!! Thank you so much

If hoarding Empty rolls of various sizes from TP,paper towels,foil,etc etc and actually using them, was an Olympic sport…. My mother would be scooting away with the gold medal. I think she would deserve another one just for creativity! She used them for nearly everything this video mentioned plus some. She crocheted and used them to wind her yarn on and she also crocheted candles and then would be slipped over the rolls. When moving, they were an absolute must as much as boxes and tape. I swear there wasn’t anything she couldn’t come up with. She had a tall hamper sitting by back door for everyone (including guests) to umm “donate” to her obsession.😂

While DJ'ing for years, I somehow ended up with hundreds of different kinds of cords that just made me nuts trying to find the one I need. When I saw the video months ago about TP rolls, it was like a gift from above. Now every single cord of various types is secure and orderly in TP rolls. Great idea!

@karenr.sternberg1920 Год назад

I used them in a shoe box to mail small plant cuttings to a friend;. Drop the cutting into the roll, pack the rolls upright in the box & cushion around it w/ paper or packing peanuts. The roll / tubes protects the cuttings from getting squished in the mail. The recipient, a fellow plant person, loved it & the cuttings arrived well protected.

@sewhealthy560 10 месяцев назад

I love this idea because we throw away way too much stuff. Before I throw away anything I try to see if there’s another use for it. For instance, before throwing away old clothes, I remove buttons, zipper, snaps etc. I use cardboard boxes as landscape material under mulch to prevent weeds and empty pill bottles, to store flower seeds, needles, those spare buttons and other small stuff. Now I can add this to my list of recycled items. I never thought of a use for toilet paper rolls. Thanks for the info.

@raymonddugan1672 Год назад

10:36 pm, I’ve used them as fillers when packing for a move. Sometimes you just need a little something as a filler for an empty space. The great thing is that you can vary the strength by varying the amount of paper used inside, they can even be used unfilled depending on the need of the space.

@MariaLuciaGomezGreenberg Год назад

Wonderful ideas! Thank you! I do worm composting. The worms love to make moistened TP rolls their home. Once the rolls decompose, the worms eat them. 🐛💚😍💚🐛

@nanszoo3092 Год назад

I've been prepping TP rolls for planting seeds this Spring, but instead of taping them, I am fitting them into my daily yogurt cups that would otherwise just be recycled. What I like about this idea is that I can just cut the rolls down the side instead of potentially stressing the plant when removing it from one pot or cell pack and replanting it into the garden beds. I figure by the time the plant is ready for the garden the cardboard will be ready for the compost too. I have a hard time moving the hose around sometimes so I already leave the small yogurt cups near new plants to catch rain or overspray from the hose and then I use that to water plants that need more frequent watering than the more established plants - always with a twig or leaf in them though so lizards and other beneficial critters won't drown in them when they also want a drink of water.

If you consider your empty toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls clean enough, you might use them to help dry out the interior of reusable rubber gloves by inserting them inside damp gloves to increase air circulation.

I covered a tp roll with colored duct tape so it looks pretty. I put my curling iron tip inside to cool, after turning it off. No accidental burns!

@joanbaczek2575 9 месяцев назад

And it didn’t catch the tube on fire?

@mathangelaz5799 9 месяцев назад

@@joanbaczek2575 No, the curling iron isn’t hot enough to do that once it’s turned off. At least mine isn’t. I unplug it and immediately it begins to cool. I wouldn’t recommend putting an iron that is still on into a tp roll.

@plantsoverpills1643 Год назад

With the exception of seedling pots and bird feeders, your ideas are good ones. I found the seedling pots just deteriorated way before I could set out them out in the garden and if one did make it to the garden, it would hinder the roots. I’ve seen a bird choke on a toilet roll. One of the most useful applications of these rolls is as collars for newly planted seedlings protecting them from cut or wire worms.

@george6977 Год назад

Slugs probably love soggy toilet rolls.

@tanyabrown9839 Год назад

I find them great for my vegetable seedlings as as vegetables grow fast they do not deuterate too early and I put a slash down the side of the toilet roll and take them out (depending on the veg) of there when putting my seedlings into the permanent positions

@larryboysen5911 Год назад

I use those rolls when I pack small items such as mini toy cars, figurines, or costume jewelry, especially for shipping in a larger box. Wrap the item in tissue paper or paper towel, insert into roll and bingo...a neat container to prevent damage. Also useful to protect projecting parts of larger pieces in shipment.

That Firestarter tip is a good idea, you get to use both the cardboard and lint instead of throwing in the rubbish. I wonder though once the fire gets going, will it smell like laundry because of the lint?

I am a quilter and have lots of fabrics. To avoid creases I roll my fabrics and slip the tubes over them to keep them crease free and tidy. It makes looking through my stash easier as well.

@mayamaven 12 дней назад

I am an artist trained in basic conservation practices, and a quilter, too. Please don't leave your fabrics in contact with the toilet paper rolls for more than a month or two. Brown paper is acidic and becomes more acidic as it ages. This acid will migrate into your fabrics and discolor them, pretty quickly in fact. Best wishes.

@jadeswrapsandbraids Год назад

For the fire starting one, if you take a candle that you have at home and melt it and then pour it in the tube with the dryer lint, you will be more likely to have a good fire because when you start TV roll on fire, and you just have the lint without anything, the lint will burn fast so there's no guarantee that your fire is going to take.But if you have wax all throughout that and within your toilet or your lint dryer lint, it stays lit on fire longer so giving your campfire a better chance of starting

A note on another use for rollers. If you can get your hands on those huge cardboard rollers that are used for rolls of fabric in fabric stores, you can use them for storage to roll doilies, table runners, small table cloths and other linens so there is no crease/fold mark on the cloth. Then cover with plastic or an old sheet.

I saved tiolet paper for puppies to play with, now I have more ideas to use them. Thanks!

@carnivorecaveman Год назад

According to my experience, the empty roll of toilet paper is excellent for sliding onto the handle of a hot pan and holding it from there. (Obviously for this you have to squeeze the paper roll and it will deform, but who cares?). Because it is an excellent heat insulator! One such paper ball can be used dozens of times before it is completely destroyed, I say this from my own experience! And it is much more convenient to use this than to wrap a towel around the handle of the baking pan on occasion, or to always put special plastic gloves on our hands.

@DL-oq6nq Год назад

Good video. For the firestarters, I've been doing something similar. I keep putting folded up rolls into 1 roll that stays unfolded. When there are enough to keep them tight so as to not fall out, use a serrated blade to cut into discs. Then add some lint AND petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Put them into a good storage because they're messy.

I've been using tp tubes for cord storage for several decades. I cover them with packing tape to strength them. Lately, I'm feeding them through a crosscut paper shredder and adding them to the garden for the worms.

Gray or brown cardboard tubes make THE BEST COMPOST. I have an office shredder so I just cut the tube and send it through the shredder. Put it on the bottom of the pot or plastic tray. It holds water and by next year, it falls apart and becomes soil.

@alienonion4636 Год назад

For the wrapping paper keeper you can use the very same tube to cut your paper with most types of paper. It makes a nice even cut. For the fire starters I've added wax from burned out candles then wrapping in advert paper. I love these for cord keepers and have them on things like my clothing iron and slow cooker. If a cord won't stay put in the tube just cut a slit and slide the plug into it and there you have it.

I use TP a rolls in my art. I stuff them with shredded paper, top and bottom them with cardboard and put either animal pictures or stickers along with either beads, or borders or gem stickers and I put a topper on it which can be anything. Then I like to put them on a shelf or window sill. I even have a couple Halloween ones I made. I think I have about 10 so far. Or I’ll unroll the TP roll, cut it in strips, paper punch, cut through he middle and I have TP roll borders I can paint. Or I’ll take the roll and paper punch and use the punches on my art. And my favorite is using the roll after tin foil is gone. I cut them down and make several pieces from that roll. And Since it’s stiff I don’t have to stuff them just top and bottom with cardboard.

I always keep my toilet rolls as they also make good dry compost, but this Christmas I cut some rolls in half, reinforced them by layering, then got some wool and using hot glue to secure it, wrapped it through the tubes vertically so both the exterior and interior was fully covered. When that was done, I also glued on some homemade woolen snowflakes to the exterior. And et voila, from toilet rolls to Christmas napkin rings for the familiy table!

I just watched this very wonderful video again. I also sent it off to three people that I don't think I sent it to last time. But maybe I did. They can watch it again! It was good! I do have another idea for you. I have some remote holders which are wonderful to have, But some narrower things fall down in the areas. I don't just have remotes in these holders of course!. I have 3 of them on tables to the left and right of my recliner. I cut toilet paper rolls the height of each of the areas that I wanted to have certain things in. Then I painted them all black and stuck them in the spots to totally fill up each area... It keeps things from falling down and they don't even show if you paint them black. I wish I could send you a pictures but I don't have an email address. It's hard to explain how to do it.
