Don’t throw away your paper towel rolls anymore

4. Store Wrapping Paper Without Creases

Prevent your gift wrap from becoming crumpled or unruly with this clever trick.

• Simply slit a paper towel roll lengthwise and slide it around your wrapping paper roll.
• It holds the paper snugly, preventing unraveling and damage.

Bonus: you can label the cardboard with the occasion (“Christmas,” “Birthday,” etc.) for easy sorting.

5. Make DIY Bird Feeders

Turn trash into a treat for wildlife with a fun family-friendly project.

• Cover the roll with peanut butter (or a nut butter alternative), then roll it in birdseed.
• Hang it outside on a branch or fence using string.

This is an easy way to attract birds to your yard and teach kids about nature.
