Links of Light Bulbs ~(1)

This is my first Links of Light Bulbs post!  I will be posting collections of ideas that I have found online and hope to tweak for my family and for my blog.  If you would like to join in with your own posts of collections of ideas, please borrow my button and join me with Links of Light Bulbs!

Theme:  The Toilet Paper Roll: Recycled!
It was hard to narrow down to only 16 ideas for this one!  Check out the sites credited, along with TPcraft.com for a whole site devoted to reusing Toilet Paper Rolls for crafts and organization!

Planters by topp-kreativ.de.  We need to try this next spring!
Quilling by awoodennest.blogspot.com.  Try spray-painting black or metallic!
Advent Calendar by mayamade.blogspot.com  This would be cool to combine with nativity pieces or Advent & Lent Quest
Cord organizer by lifehacker.com I think I’ll make this for my desk drawer for all the USB cables for the computer:  cameras, ipods…
Paper Lanterns by thecraftycrow.net.  Cute decorations…maybe little messages could be written inside?
Gift Boxes by skiptomylou.org.  Painted pillow boxes!
Hot Rod Racers by familyfun.go.com.  Experiment with bottle caps for the wheels…or cereal box cardboard with the circle punch 
Gold Mine Marble Run by looledo.com.  An elaborate version of the marble run!  Looks like fun!
Christmas Crackers by lisasayswhybensaysyup.blogspot.com Lots of TP Roll ideas on this post!
Craft Caddy by crissyscrafts.blogspot.com  Lots of uses for this caddy…lots of decorating options with scrapbooking paper!
Tinkertoy Tubes by almostunschoolers.blogspot.com  Remember these classic toys?  Easy to make this homemade set!
Pocket book by stampowel.blogspot.com  Nice durable pockets…would be great for the Prayer Bank!
Knitting Tool by mymateriallife.wordpress.com  Nice homemade version to do this easy french knitting.  I love the colorful version made here.
Castle by filthwizardry.com  Endless play opportunity for little knights and princesses, using TP rolls and cereal box cardboard.
Tree Bracelet for the Birds by moffattgirls.blogspot.com I came up with the name…but this is a neat bird feeder.  I bet the squirrels will love it too…I wish it would lure them out of our soffits.
Cranky Faces by designverb.com  These are pretty cool…hard to believe they’re TP rolls!
