Create Snazzy Storage For Toilet Paper Rolls With A Dollar Tree Plunger Hack

Rather than tossing your extra toilet paper rolls in a plain container, why not make your own decorative storage solution to add some personality to your bathroom? You can create snazzy storage for toilet paper rolls with a Dollar Tree toilet plunger in just a few steps. Simply detach the handle from the plunger, spray paint it in a color of your choice, wrap a bit of rope around the end, and glue it to a wooden plank. You can then slide your extra toilet paper rolls onto the toilet plunger handle. Place a small basket on the plank next to the toilet plunger handle to store additional toilet paper or other toiletries.

This decor will look even more stylish if you take the time to transform your wooden plank by coating it in paint or wood stain. The finished result resembles rustic decorative toilet paper storage you might find at a home decor retailer for an unreasonably high price. However, this clever DIY toilet paper storage solution is a lot more affordable than something you would buy in one of those stores. All you need to purchase to build this storage solution yourself is a Thermoplastic Toilet Plunger, the Decorative Nautical Rope, a Round Wire Basket, and a Chalk Board Tag. These products are all sold by Dollar Tree for only $1.25 each. You'll need a wooden plank from your local home improvement store too.

To build this DIY to store extra toilet paper, detach the handle from the Thermoplastic Toilet Plunger so you can paint it. If you aren't a fan of the plain neutral colors, you can jazz things up by applying metallic spray paint, such as the Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray, in whichever finish you prefer. You'll probably want to transform the wooden plank too — applying wood stain in your desired finish would help you nail a rustic look. Just be sure to sand the plank first. Or, go bold with a vibrant paint shade if you don't like that aesthetic. You could even add a fun pattern across the plank using the Mixed Stencils LLOUSSAK or a similar product.

Once the handle and wooden plank dry, all you have to do is add rope to the end of the handle and glue the handle to the end of the plank with hot glue. Then, you are ready to add your basket to the other side of the plank. Consider hot gluing it in place to ensure it doesn't move around. You can attach one of the Chalk Board Tags to the basket and label it too. If you aren't a fan of the basket, you could also glue multiple toilet paper plunger handles to the wood to hold the toilet paper rolls instead. When you're done, place your finished DIY toilet paper storage solution in your bathroom and enjoy.
