I mean teepee rolls, of course! And the many roles they can play in our lives.
Pig pen:
Now I can de-clutter the poor little pig’s head. OR- I can make hog’s head cheese! Anybody up for that one?? Of course, it might taste a little rubbery…..
Giraffe hobble:
(At least we will pretend so!)
Animal Corral:
Boy, Goggling "animal corral made from tp roll" sure saved me a lot of time! It brought up this, and the heart Stamper, AND the Doll crowns!!
Doll crown:
Bracelet:
Ring for me:
Stamper- heart shape on paper:
Lazy woman’s way to craft!!
Cord keeper: Tame Cords
This site will give you a wealth of other uses. I’m only listing the ones I thought of myself!
I was hoping for a visual here…. Found one!! (You can find literally anything you want to on Google, right??)
Christmas craft angel:
I had all these grand plans, of staging these pix, with the girls…. But I’m tired!! And Google and Pinterest just sing their siren calls constantly!!
3 outta 9 ain’t bad! To mis-quote Meatloaf.
Update: My friend Patience, of Pressing Patience, sent me this:
And of course, I HAD to add it!!

I think that book and its concept are just written for people like me who are hoarders. There comes a point when we need to say ” Enough”. It is based on the principle – if you have two tunics, give one away.”- from Luke.

Susie, It sounds interesting, I just haven’t had time to read lately. Are you really a hoarder?
A wonderful concept!

I sure am. I have lately come to that realization. I am trying to find people and places to give things away but the one thing I think I cannot give away is my jewelry or pearls I think. I am too worldly for that, Lucy.
How right the Lord was when he said, it is difficult for a rich man to get to the Kingdom of God.

Susie, that’s great that you are looking to give things away. I don’t think there is anything wrong with keeping the jewelry you love. As long as you didn’t spend the rent money on it! lol
You have a loving, giving heart, Susie. You definitely don’t have a hard heart!
Love, Lucy

My grand kids couldn’t come for their summer visit this year. I now have 38 empty water bottles, 18 toilet paper rolls, 10 paper towel rolls, and plastic dinosaurs frozen in a block of ice. Yet I’m afraid to get rid of any of it! What if they suddenly show up!?

In the last 13 years of mothering, I’ve seen every craft under the sun made with TP rolls. I’ve had a child bring home Martin Luther King Jr. out of toilet paper rolls!
