Reuse Toilet Paper Rolls To Make A Stunning And Sturdy Holiday Centerpiece

You have so many options to choose from when it comes to holiday decorations that browsing store shelves can be overwhelming. Many of the decor items sold by popular retailers are on the pricier side, which can be frustrating since they are only displayed for a couple of months out of the year. To avoid these problems, make your own holiday centerpiece by reusing toilet paper rolls. This tip will help you decorate for Christmas on a budget, leaving you with a bit more cash to spend on gifts for your friends and family. All you need to do to pull this off is tape a few bare toilet paper rolls together lengthwise, and place them in the center of a large glass vase. Fill the vase with pine cones, small string lights, and pine branches.

After you have used toilet paper rolls to create a hollow pole, you can slide your pine tree branch right in the center so that it is supported on all sides. You are then left with a sturdy centerpiece that does not feel cheap even though it's crafted from budget-friendly materials. The finished DIY would look great in the center of a dining table or a kitchen island. It would also add holiday cheer to a fireplace mantle. After your festivities come to a close, you can easily disassemble the centerpiece to use the vase for spring decor at the start of the new season.

To recreate this DIY centerpiece decor, start out by measuring a toilet paper roll along the height of your vase to determine how many rolls you'll need, and tape them together. Next, place the taped rolls inside of your vase. Next up is the fun part. You get to fill your vase with your choice of holiday decor pieces and eye-catching string lights.

If you like the look of the centerpiece Instagram user @mahe.etaban created, consider snagging the Helimoto Pine Cones and the HOBAYS 6 Pack Fairy Lights. You could also take advantage of the opportunity to really make this project your own by adding whichever small holiday decor pieces suit your preferences instead — like snowflake ornaments or gift wrap bows. These are just a few of the many items that would look great inside of the clear glass.

After filling the vase, finish up this centerpiece by placing a pine branch inside of your taped toilet paper rolls. You can add a bit more flair to your project by using the TIHOOD Snow Frosted Artificial Pine Branches, which are coated in faux snow. Once you complete this project, consider making smaller DIY centerpieces in mason jars to place around it.
