Do you feel guilty tossing those spent toilet paper tubes into the recycle bin? Check out some crafty ways to reuse them instead!

For most of us, toilet paper is one of the areas where there isn?t a green alternative that works for our families. I know that there are alternatives to using toilet paper, but let?s be honest here, guys. Not everyone is ready to make that leap, and when you can?t reduce waste, reusing whatever you can is your best option.

There also might be a bit of an ick factor when it comes to reusing toilet paper tubes, and that?s totally understandable. If you?re just not comfortable crafting with them, you can also use paper towel tubes for these. If your family doesn?t do the paper towel thing, I bet you know someone who does who would save a few tubes for your crafty needs!
