How to Use Toilet Paper Rolls to Wrap Adorable Gifts
I totally forgot to get Christmas/holiday wrapping paper and I had a holiday gift exchange. I had to get creative! I usually save tissue paper, so I had some tissue paper I could wrap my gift in.
While I was getting ready for the day in the bathroom, I saw my untouched scrunchie collection and an empty toilet paper roll.
Look how I wrapped this cute gift in two minutes, plus the recipient got a bonus scrunchie!
Let me show you how I did this. It's the perfect way to add a fun hair tie to a secret Santa gift exchange.
Here is the gift. I got a cute necklace from Target:
Here are the supplies I used to wrap the gift. No tape or scissors needed:
Just need a toilet paper roll, one sheet of tissue paper, and a scrunchie.
1. Place the gift in the toilet paper tube
First, I placed the gift in the toilet paper tube.
2. Place the tube on tissue paper
Next, I lined it up centered on the tissue paper.
3. Bunch up the end
Then I bunched it up until it looked cute and was tight enough for the scrunchie to go around.
4. Add a scrunchie as the bow
The scrunchie makes a great bow, but would also be so cute in hair. You could do this with any color scrunchie for birthdays or other holidays! So glad I got my creative juices flowing on this one.

Voila! It is so adorable and gives tissue paper and empty toilet paper rolls a new purpose.
This would be a great way to gift ornaments or jewelry. You could even do a paper towel roll and two scrunchies, one on each end.
