Fabric option
If you have a sewing machine at home, it’s very easy to sew such a cute owl. It is enough to take a small strip of fabric and shreds of different colors for the application of an owl. You do not need to be an artist to draw a pattern with elongated "ears" and to connect different fabrics together with internal seams.

The toilet paper holder should fit the roll freely. A fabric loop is sewn on top of the craft so that it can be hung on a hook.

The holder for giving
An original holder made of an ordinary branched branch fits perfectly into the interior of a wooden toilet in a summer cottage. Choose a suitable trunk of the old tree and saw off a piece of wood with a strong branch sticking out to the side. Treat the opposite side with a planer or cut with a jigsaw. You can not remove the bark, but be sure to process all the saw cuts with sandpaper.
Coat the surface with acrylic varnish at least twice and nail or screw to the wall paneling. You can draw a shelf from the top of a tree saw cut, for example, for a decorative candle.

Usually such a rope is used in the fleet, so if a sailor lives in your family, you can arrange an original surprise for him by making a toilet paper holder from a thick ship rope. This will cause nostalgia and pleasant memories of working on a ship.
