Cardboard kitchen paper rolls can instead be used to create storage units, such as key rings or coin holders. To make them, simply cut the roll into pieces of different lengths, close one of the two sides and paint them with acrylic or watercolor colors. Once dry, they can be decorated with stickers, glitter or sequins, creating unique and personalized objects.
Children’s Toys
Detergent caps and cardboard rolls can also be used to create cute puppets for children. To make them, simply paint the detergent caps with watercolor paints and decorate them with eyes, noses and mouths. Later, you can cut the cardboard rolls into pieces the same length as the caps and glue them under them, creating the puppet’s legs.
The decorative part will be bows like tiny men’s bow ties, whose colorful hat is the fabric softener cap. In this way, fun DIY toys for the little ones will be obtained.
Creative recycling is a fun and creative activity that allows us to create new, useful and fun items from materials we often throw away. Creating pen holders and glove boxes or small puppets with detergent caps and cardboard rolls is just one example of what can be done. The only limit is our imagination and creativity.
Trying to recycle and create unique and personalized items can also be an opportunity to spend time with family or teach children the value of recycling and sustainability.
