Rather than tossing toilet paper rolls into the trash, consider repurposing them into stylish home decor instead. You can use the small rolls of cardboard to create anything from decorative storage to a flower vase. However, one of the most impressive of these craft ideas involves upcycling empty toilet paper rolls into the most unique wall decor for your home. You don't need expert-level DIY skills or super expensive materials to create this piece. All you need to do is glue toilet paper roll halves all around a wooden hoop, paint it, and glue a large mirror in the middle.

When you're done, you'll have a chic sunburst mirror wall art piece that rivals similar store-bought decor. To take this craft to the next level, customize it so that the design meshes with your existing trendy home decor ideas. For example, you could add details like craft jewels, fabric, or metallic spray paint. When it comes time to hang your finished piece on a wall, simply use self-adhesive strips to make the process easy. Your guests will have no idea that the finished result on display was made using empty toilet paper rolls.

Before you can get started with this DIY, stash empty rolls in a bag or storage container as you go through toilet paper ahead of time so that you'll have enough to make your wall art. Once you have a large pile of empty rolls, start out this DIY by gluing a wooden plank to the back of a thin wooden hoop, such as the Worown Bamboo Floral Hoop. As for the wooden plank, you can have one cut to size at store's like Lowe's. Take measurements of your wooden hoop to help select a plank that is the same length. Use a hot glue gun to attach the plank to the back of the hoop.

Next, cut each toilet paper roll in half and use hot glue to attach the halves to the hoop in a sunburst-like arrangement. After the glue dries, you can move on to painting the base of your DIY wall art mirror. Consider spray painting it to make the process easy. Just make sure to take the craft outside and lay it down on a piece of cardboard while completing this step to avoid making a mess inside your home. When it comes to paint choices, the Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint is a fun option if you aren't a fan of the plain black paint used in the video. You could glue some of The Crafts Outlet Rhinestones to the toilet paper rolls after the paint dries too. Lastly, glue a round mirror to the wooden plank on the inside as your final step.
