New Use For A Toilet Paper Tube
Do you have young daughters? Do you like to fix your daughter’s hair with cute barrettes, bows, clips and hair ties? If so, I’m guessing your house {like mine!} looks like Claire’s Boutique exploded all over it. I’m constantly finding hair elastics all over my house and when I really need them I can’t find one in the right color. And matching ones? Forget it. I was having trouble keeping all those stretchy little circles in one organized spot. Notice how my girls’ hair is unkempt in the pictures below? It’s because I couldn’t find hair elastics!!! Or… maybe it was because I was feeling too lazy to fix their hair that day… or…… whatever.
Enter the toilet paper tube.
I collected a bunch and let my girls paint them. They really enjoyed that.
Then we let them dry and used them to corral those pesky hair elastics.
I have a couple of these upstairs and a couple of them down stairs and in each room. When I see a stray hair elastic I pop it on one of our hair elastic tubes. And then, every now and then, I’ll go through and put all the tubes together in the bin I keep their hair stuff in. I won’t claim to know how to keep their hair clips and bows organized other than throwing them in another plastic container.
But, my toilet paper tube turned hair elastic holder?
It works for me!
