Toilet Paper Roll Box

Toilet Paper Roll Box


Step 1: Retrieve an empty toilet paper roll (hopefully, you won't have to go at the bottom of the garbage can to get it!)


Step 2: Flatten the roll using a bone folder for a crisp edge. I think a ruler would do the trick too.

Step 3: Using a round object such as a template cutter or a lid, trace a curve using a pointy object or your bone folder. This will help to fold the ends.

Step 4: Repeat the same on each ends on both sides.

Step 5: Cut a piece of paper the same width as the roll and long enough to go all the way around it. This is a great way to use your scraps.

Step 6: Apply a strong adhesive to one side of the roll. Make sure to put some along the ends.

Step 7: Carefully line up paper, adhere. Next, add adhesive to the other side of the roll and wrap the paper around. Secure the last flap with adhesive and adhere.


Step 8:  With a finger, push in one end of the roll.

Step 9: Repeat step 8 with all the folds and your pillow box is all done. 

 This pillow box is a perfect size for gift certificate, money or jewelery.

You can add a ribbon (as in the first image) or a big flower to give it a finished touch.

I hope you enjoy this!
