Toilet paper was likely first used in China (it seems like many things originated in China, Egypt, or Greece, doesn’t it?), but it was first mass-produced and marketed as an industrial product in the United States. Nowadays, toilet paper is designed to break down when it encounters water, and it’s a common household item found in every country worldwide.

Materials Needed:

  • – Toilet paper rolls
  • – colorful paper or wrapping paper
  • – Glue
  • – Scissors
  • – Decorations like ribbons, stickers, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Cut rectangles measuring 13×16 cm (5×6 inches) from the paper/wrapping paper.
  2. Glue the rectangles around the toilet paper rolls.
  3. Tuck any excess paper from the ends into the roll for a neat finish.
  4. Fold in the open sides of each roll to create a closed box shape.
  5. Decorate with stickers, ribbons, gemstones, or any other fun decorations!
  6. Fill with treasures!
