This Toilet Paper Roll Calendar is easy to make. Make your own version with colors and fun embellishments. Would also be cute to combine this idea with this toilet paper wreath!
          Speaking of wreaths, this wreath is so much fun! We love the colors! To keep things symmetrical (if that’s important to you, too), mix up the order of countdown envelopes so the wreath doesn’t have bare spots —- it also makes it a bit more fun to hunt for the countdown day!
