Not Shelves Or Baskets: A More Unique Way To Store Toilet Paper And Add Rustic Charm
Are you bored with common bathroom storage solutions? Many people use baskets or shelves to neatly stash spare toilet paper rolls, but there's a much more interesting way to add storage to your bathroom. If you're a fan of rustic, outdoorsy decor, this simple wood DIY keeps extra toilet paper perfectly organized and makes your bathroom look like a camping retreat. Using fallen tree limbs from his backyard, TikToker ChrisGarage78 built a toilet paper storage tree. The natural, protruding branches on a tree limb are perfect for holding extra rolls, allowing you to create unique TP storage that also saves space.
Though standard storage pieces aren't always expensive, tight budgets sometimes require more ingenuity if you want a stylish toilet paper holder. As long as you already have the necessary woodworking tools, this eco-friendly project can be completed for free. With serious remote cabin decor vibes, this toilet paper storage solution is much more eye-catching than a basic shelf or basket.
Chris crafted a freestanding toilet paper storage tree with two separate logs. The tall storage solution neatly fits in the corner of the bathroom, but there are a couple of ways to repurpose fallen tree limbs as bathroom storage. Mounting a branch on the wall is also a great use of vertical space and will help to maximize smaller bathrooms. Besides a toilet paper roll organizer, you can turn an old tree branch into space-saving clothes storage or hooks to hang towels, coats, or even tools.
Turning branches from your yard into one-of-a-kind TP storage
If you're looking for a way to store toilet paper that's not baskets or shelves, start checking your backyard after storms for fallen branches. To build a toilet paper storage tree like ChrisGarage78, you'll need a tree limb with several branches and a wide stump for the base. Each arm on the tree will be able to hold one to three rolls of toilet paper. When choosing these natural pieces of wood, consider how many rolls you'd like your DIY storage to hold and look for limbs with more branches.
First, cut your toilet paper tree to the height you'd like, removing any awkward pieces. If the limb happens to have an excess of branches, cut a few off to customize the look of this storage tree. Trim extra long branches if necessary.

To attach the stand to the toilet paper holder, the DIYer created a hole in the stump with a drill and a spade bit. Make sure that the hole is the same size as the diameter of the main tree branch. Now, shave off the bottom few inches of bark from the storage tree, so that it fits snuggly into the shorter log. For a more permanent build, add wood glue before joining the two pieces together. Otherwise, use a planter or decorative container to support the holder. You can also screw the branch into your bathroom wall horizontally or vertically to make a mounted toilet paper tree.
