Store taper candles inside empty paper towel tubes.
When traveling, store pantyhose in an empty paper towel tube to keep them from snagging.

Paper Towel tubes can also be used to store crochet hooks, knitting needles, and started small projects so they don't unravel, cross-stitch projects, craft instructions, paint brushes, etc.
