Reusing Cardboard Toilet Paper Rolls to Create Something Unique: Our Discovery for You
Cardboard rolls
There are many opportunities to recycle objects that seem to have no purpose once used. In the art of DIY, there may be times when you ‘need’ to use items that seem useless, but in reality will turn out to be incredibly valuable.
This is the case with some special cardboard rolls. We all use toilet paper in the bathroom every day. When it runs out, it is necessary to replace the roll. Once the paper is finished, only the cardboard roll remains.
It has a cylindrical shape and is created to serve as a support for toilet paper. The latter is in fact wrapped around this cardboard during the various stages of production.
