It sounds unbelievable—but with a bit of creativity, even something as simple as boiled toilet paper can turn into a unique product or business idea. No, you’re not making soup! You’re making handcrafted paper pulp, a base material used in DIY crafts, eco-products, and even artistic creations that can be sold online.
What Happens When You Boil Toilet Paper?
Boiling toilet paper (unscented, plain, and chemical-free is best) breaks it down into a soft, moldable pulp. This pulp can then be shaped, dyed, and dried into a variety of handmade items. And yes—you can make money from them!
What Can You Create from Toilet Paper Pulp?
Here are some genius and profitable ideas:
🟤 1. Homemade Paper
Dry the pulp in sheets to create beautiful, rustic paper. Great for:
Greeting cards

Wall art
Jewelry holders
🟤 3. Eco Seed Bombs
Mix toilet paper pulp with soil and flower seeds, shape into balls and let dry. Sell as eco-gifts for gardens.
