The Toilet Paper Roll Storage Hack For A Snazzy Desktop Organizer

Trying to keep your desk neat and organized? There are many items you can use to organize your desk, and this toilet paper roll storage hack might be just the thing for you. Not only will it help you organize your items, but it also reuses items you already have lying around the house. Just collect a small rectangular bottle – like you might find a smoothie in – and three toilet paper rolls to get started!

Begin by taking your bottle, cleaning it out, and removing any exterior labels. Clean the outside of the bottle to remove any stickiness from the label. A little Goo Gone could help. Using a precision crafting knife, cut a large rectangle out of one side of the bottle so that almost the entire side of the bottle is gone. Make sure to keep your fingers well out of the way when cutting, and take a moment to sand the edges of the bottle to ensure they aren't sharp. Then, place three toilet paper tubes side by side inside the bottle. The crafter then glued some pom poms around the edge of the bottle to give it an artistic flair. Finally, they placed make-up brushes in each of the rolls. This DIY would certainly make a great make-up brush holder, and it would also be great for your desk supplies. Use one section for pens, another for pencils, and a third for markers or highlighters. This DIY would also be great for a kid's desk or crafting station!

This design is definitely practical, and a few adjustments could help make this project look even more beautiful. Pick up some peel-and-stick wallpaper, and wrap the toilet paper rolls and bottle in the wallpaper. This will give your project a unique design without a lot of hassle. You could also use acrylic paint or spray paint to give your project a cohesive look. Make sure the bottle is completely dry. Then, choose a paint that says it sticks to plastic or prime the plastic prior to painting. If you want to get really creative, you could do a combination of the two mediums, where you cover the bottle in a peel-and-stick wallpaper and paint the toilet paper rolls in a matching solid color. Let your creativity shine when creating this project! With a little organization, your space will be a home office you'll definitely want to work in.
