The content of the article:

Often, the comfort and unique appearance of a home is made up of everyday little things. Many of them can be created with your own hands. There are no secondary rooms in the house that could be given less attention, this also applies to the bathroom. You will be surprised to find out how original a toilet paper holder can be. It can be made with your own hands from various materials, including fabric and wood.

Doll toilet paper holder

These original ladies will surprise the visiting guests, waiting for them in a secluded place. Those who come will certainly want the same holder for themselves. You can sew it with your own hands to give to those who wish for a birthday or other holiday. When you get the hang of it, if you want, you will sew textile dolls of this type to sell them. This is a good source of income, since at the Crafts Fair such a handmade toilet paper holder doll costs more than 2,000 rubles.

We hope that these arguments have convinced you to take up interesting creativity right now. For it, you can use pieces of fabric left over from sewing some product.

So take:

  • flesh-colored stretch fabric;
  • soft filler;
  • wire;
  • fabric for doll clothes;
  • a piece of cardboard;
  • pattern paper;
  • pencil;
  • scissors;
  • embroidery threads;
  • hair yarn;
  • igloo
First you will cut out and sew the body parts for the doll. Then cut out her robe, slippers, scarf, and create these clothing items. After this, you can decorate the vestments, the doll itself, and at this stage or earlier, embroider facial features.

So let's get started. To make it easier for you to understand the foreign pattern, we will do everything step by step.


This is the body that makes up the toilet paper holder doll. Cut out two such pieces from stretch fabric. As you understand, the subtle part is the neck. Place the front and back of the body right sides together, machine stitch along the edge or hand sew. On the right side you see two small stops labeled abertura. It indicates that there is no need to sew up this piece of fabric in this place, since through it you will stuff the doll with filler.

The next pattern is the head and shawl collar of the robe. We create the head from two parts of flesh-colored stretch fabric. The collar of the robe on the pattern is given with a fold. Place this piece on the fabric folded in half. Align the places of their folds, cut out with seam allowances, put this part aside for now.


Fill the sewn head through the remaining hole, the boundaries of which are also marked on the pattern.

By the way, using this technology you can sew a towel holder, then one doll will be responsible for the towel, and the other for the toilet paper.


But these two young ladies cannot do without arms and legs, so the following pattern will help to cut them out with perfect precision. You will need to print or re-draw the image, cut out the pattern, lay it on the fabric, cut it with seam allowances.


It's time to sew clothes for the doll, let's create her robe. Here is the front, which is called the shelf of the product.


The next detail is the back. We make it one-piece. Place it on the fabric folded in half, outline the presented pattern, cut it out with a seam allowance of 7 mm on all sides, and 1 cm at the hem.
When you unroll the resulting fabric piece, it will be one-piece. But you should have two shelves. All that remains is to cut out the details of the slippers and scarf of the beautiful doll. This is all included in the next pattern.


On the bottom left is the sole, and above it is the upper part of the slippers, on the right is half of the girl’s scarf. As you guessed, you will need to cut a stylish headdress out of the fabric by folding the material before cutting it in half.


So, you have already sewn the head and body, fill them with filler. In the narrow part of the head you have a hole through which you inserted holofiber or padding polyester. Thread the neck of the body into this cutout and connect these parts with an invisible seam.

If you want our heroine's arms and legs to bend, then before stuffing them with filler, thread a bent wire into each limb. You can make a movable head.


If you decide to sew a doll from tights, to avoid tearing them, wrap the top and bottom ends of each wire with paper or fabric tape.


Stuff the limbs with filler, sew up the cut areas, and stitch these parts into place to the body.


To sew slippers, attach the sole pattern to the cardboard and cut it out without allowances. For each sneaker you need two pieces of fabric, which are cut with seam allowances. Using the same technology, use two rag and one cardboard pieces to create toe caps for flip-flops.

Place the elements of the sole in the following sequence: first, on the front side is the first piece of fabric, on top of it is cardboard, and on top of it, face up, is the second piece of linen. Sew the fabric along the edges of the arms using an invisible seam. Sew the toe of the shoe in the same way. Then stitch it on your hands to the sole. You can decorate slippers with fabric flowers.

Let's take care of the doll's outerwear. To sew a robe, sew the sides of the front and back, and close the shoulder seams.


Take two parts of the collar and sew the outer part on the wrong side. Iron the inner edges and sew them to the neck of the back and shelves. Fold in the center edges of both front panels and hem them. Make a belt for your robe. Sew a headdress for our doll according to the pattern, which will hold toilet paper or a towel. Embroider her facial features with threads and make her bangs out of yarn.


This or a similar textile doll is what you will get. You can make eyes from beads and put a cap on her head.


There are other options for making this item for the home.

Original toilet paper holders

Continuing this topic, I would like to introduce you to a model that is easier to manufacture.


As you can see, this is a very comfortable and stylish thing. To make it, take:
  • two rectangles of fabric 50x13 cm;
  • eyes for toys;
  • satin ribbon 18 cm long;
  • scissors;
  • pins.


You can use ready-made eyes for a toy or make the whites from white and the pupils from dark fabric. These circles are sewn on using a zigzag stitch.


Attach them. Stepping back 10 centimeters from the top edge of the tape, attach the eyes, glue or sew them.


At the top in the middle, attach a satin ribbon to the fabric that has eyes.


Attach a second strip of material to this strip of material so that their right sides touch. Beginner seamstresses can pin the sides together for convenience.


To prevent the corners from pulling the product in these places, it is better to cut them off.


Turn the toilet paper holder onto your face and stitch along the edge with your own hands. Mark 17 centimeters from the top, pin a pin horizontally to this place so you know where to make the cut for the mouth.


To make it symmetrical, it is better to fold the canvas in half in this place, and then cut through it. But the recess should be more spacious so that the paper does not tear and is smeared well.


It needs to be formalized. To do this, make cuts in the corners, bend the edges of the two resulting rectangles inward, and pin them together.


Set aside along this basting and topstitch to join the front and back of the piece.


Now you can hang this cool toilet paper holder that you create with your own hands.


Those who know how to work with a screwdriver will be able to create another stylish item on this theme.


This is how it will turn out. But first you need to prepare:
  • hook-holder for paper;
  • wooden board;
  • two corner brackets;
  • stain;
  • screws;
  • brush;
  • screwdriver
Paint the board the desired color and wait until it dries. Then attach a metal hook holder to it.


Using bolts, attach two metal angles to the board. Using the same elements, attach it to the wall and hang a roll of toilet paper.


This is how a doll toilet paper holder is made, as well as a simple fabric one and one made of wood and metal.

Crafts from paper rolls

Since we have touched on this topic, we can expand on it to the end. Once a roll of toilet paper runs out, you are left with a cardboard core that is thrown away. But if you knew how many useful things you can do, then you would leave it. Some people are already familiar with a small part of such work, but they used solid bushings. And you can cut them, decorate the details in an unusual way, and get wonderful things for your home, such as, for example, this Christmas wreath.


To make it, you will need so little:
  • paper tubes;
  • glue gun;
  • scissors.
Cut the tubes into circles 1 cm wide, bend each in half. You have got blanks that look like a leaf. Using a glue gun, connect them to form an inner and outer circle. You can decorate such a creative craft with paper flowers.

If you have a wooden frame, then use it to decorate your home. In the same way, cut circles from the sleeve, bend them, arrange 6 pieces each to make flowers. Glue along the edges and corners of the frames those that consist of three similar blanks. Cut some circles on one side to make paper strips. Wrap one end of such elements around a pencil or simply twist it, and then glue it to the flowers.


How they are made has already been described.


Let the children make honeycombs for these beneficial insects, and at the same time learn why such devices are needed in hives.
  1. First you need to place the sleeve in front of you, press it so that it folds in half.
  2. Now slightly turn this tube in one direction and the other, make some more bends. There should be 6 ribs in total.
  3. You need to cut the bushings crosswise with scissors to get hexagonal circles. Connect them in the form of a honeycomb.
  4. You need to put 3 blanks at the top and bottom, then place 4 at the center, and there will be 5 in the middle.


If you cut the bushings into transverse circles and then paint them, you can create an interesting picture. Use glitter to make it look so romantic and festive.


Watch a detailed master class from which you will learn how to make a funny hare. Such crafts are also made from toilet paper rolls.


The step-by-step photographs show all stages of the work, just like the others.


To make such an owl, you will need:
  • toilet paper refills;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • colored paper.
Master class on creating:
  1. You can design the ears for this bird in two ways. For the first one, you just need to bend both upper halves, slightly pulling them towards each other and leave them in that position.
  2. For another method, you need to trim such parts, then there will be free space on top of the sleeve in which you can put office supplies.
  3. Cover the blanks with colored paper, cut out circles and details for the owl's face. Glue the triangles of the nose and eyes onto the face. Decorate the bird's body with circles or glue two wings to the sides.
For the next craft you will need:
  • toilet paper roll;
  • scissors;
  • dye;
  • colorful candies;
  • glue.
Cover the bottle with colored paper and make a slit at the bottom. On the same yellow paper, draw the head, wings, and tail of the bird. Color them to represent feathers. Glue these pieces in place.


Cut a circle out of colored paper and chop its edges into strips. Place the chicken on this napkin and place the candies on top. This craft can be made for a kindergarten; a child will be able to do it.

A cardboard rod can be turned into a boxing arena. Take:

  • toilet paper roll;
  • toothpick;
  • scissors;
  • glue.
The sharp ends of the toothpicks need to be cut off with scissors, and the elements that will be attached below should be shortened. From another sleeve or cardboard, cut out figures of boxers and spectators. Bend the bottom of the athletes' legs to glue them inside the base of the sleeve, attach the spectators. After coating the toothpicks on both ends with glue, attach them as in the photo to create a fence for the ring.


Boys will love not only this craft made from bushings, but also others. Cover these blanks with colored paper and cut a hole in the middle to make a seat for the racer. Cut circles from the same material or cardboard and paint the tires with black paint. Attach the wheels to the car using the buttons.


Thanks to such accessible material, you can make crafts with your children as often as you want. There are many ideas for inspiration, here are some of them.

For those who want to add variety to their daily life, we have prepared five ideas on how to make it yourself. Let's go from simple to less simple.

Using rope and tape

The simplest method is suitable for those who are renovating their apartment or have simply not yet had time to come up with something more interesting. Props: a small piece of rope and tape.

Wire solves problems

The next simplest option is thick wire. All you need is to “bite off” the required piece with pliers, give it the desired shape, put the roll on the nail. Your DIY paper holder is ready.

From a plastic bottle

Don't rush to throw away old bottles! After all, you can use them to make a toilet paper holder. Just cut it in half, insert a roll into the bottom, and insert the end of the paper into the neck and connect both parts.

From a video cassette

This method is more complex, but also interesting. Screw the cassette with the back side to the wall, and insert a stick into the rotating socket.

From a skateboard

Even an old skateboard can be called a toilet paper holder. Screw it to the wall with the top side in a vertical position. Unscrew the wheels and put the rolls on the axles. The method is suitable for the most creative lovers of home comfort.
