Paper Towel Holder Revamp
Hands up if you have a paper towel holder at home. They are plentiful and often found in many an op shop. Of course they don’t just have to be used for paper towels, more on that soon. But after time they can become a little grungy/grimy so a little revamping might be in order rather than discarding. One of the towel holders I found makes an ideal painters tape holder but it wasnt very inspiring so it got the paper towel holder revamp read on for the tutorial.

Other Ideas
A couple of other suggestions for the holder is to use it to store your tape if you have a bit of a collection like me or what about storage for scrunchies. I’m sure there are other uses that would stop the humble old paper towel getting saved from landfill? What do you use yours for?
