We all use it – well I hope we all use it, so we all know what it looks like but, well, it isn’t the most attractive of items to have displayed in our bathrooms. What am I taking about? the spare toilet roll.
A sad pitiful site....
Even worse on the window sill....
I think knitted poodles and crinoline ladies hiding our blushes are having a bit of a renaissance due to resurgence of kitsch – indeed when I was in Waterstones on Sunday I found a whole book dedicated to knitted novelty toilet roll covers. Not for me. I decided I wanted something pretty and practical – pretty for obvious reasons and practical so it is easy to ‘use’ and can be thrown in the washing machine from time to time.
Anyway I put my thinking cap on and came up with this little beauty. So very simple a child could make it.
Aren't I pretty?
That's better.
Do you cover yours?
no, but now i might, first I have to find a simple child....
ReplyDeleteWe have a great pile of spare loo rolls - I don't quite know what the children do with them but we go through a ridiculous amount. Last week with an extra 2 under 12s was ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI think this works - surprisingly.
Expect to see it copied all over blogland . . .

I made a little drawstring bag to hide a couple of spare loo rolls ( don't know what the children do with it but they get through loads!) but yours looks much neater and nicer!
ReplyDeleteI don't cover but might from now on...what a good idea. Actually you could make a very long holder and store several loo rolls, bit like those carrier bag holders. Hmmm,have to think about that. Lunch yesterday looked delish BTW.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty idea. I'm afraid I have a wicker magazine basket that holds about 6 rolls and tucks behind the door. I'm not proud ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea, it sure is better than having them lying around the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI hide mine in the cupboard under the sink... but maybe now I'll flaunt it!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat idea.
My downstairs loo is decorated like a seaside (for the grandchildren, of course!)and my loo roll cover is an upside down sand bucket with a couple of spades beside!
ReplyDeletenot yet, but I see it in my future.
