Because of that, finding ways to repurpose them is not only a great start for a Mother’s day gift, but it’s also good for the environment.
For example, this DIY toilet paper roll wall decor looks amazing, so much so that it’s hard to believe that it’s made from leftover materials that you had around the house.
