This is a cute idea and you can't tell that it's a toilet paper tube, it looks more like parcel paper.

I was just thinking this morning, as I replaced the roll, that I really should be keeping the tubes because there are so many nifty things to do with them. Especially if you have kids! And with my husband's use of toilet paper, I could make presents for everyone!!! Love it.

I was just thinking the same thing the other day as I tossed the TP roll into recycling.
Great Idea! So many ways to decorate these as well!
