I found a few different ways to store that excess toilet paper you get once you purchase it, but none that fit my criteria - simple, easy, using materials I already have, and more importantly - FREE!
I came across one that Stella made, and it's perfect!! She used materials she already had, and it's colorful!
So I gathered up my skewers, some tissue paper, and some yarn instead of ribbon (which I decided to braid).
First, I measured the stick against the toilet paper roll, and cut the pointy part off, since I can just picture the horror of sharp stick in the hands of a 4 year old!
Then, I measured the length of yarn I would need, and added a bit more since I would be braiding it and making a loop. Repeat twice for the 2 other braid strands. Then, I tied them all to the skewers and braided them. Once I got to the end, I made a loop and tied a few knots to ensure it would stay together with the weight of the TP.
Ta da!
