The mystery of the cardboard tube

I enjoy looking up new ideas of doing things, and storing things. One of my favourite places for organisational tips is pinterest, although I also use other places. About 2 months ago just after our lockdown started I read a great tip for a use for the empty kitchen roll holder. I can remember at the time thinking I'd just binned one. It took me a week or two before I had another empty tube. However then I hit a problem, I can't remember what I wanted it for

I've now got two empty rolls, I don't want to throw them out, but I've searched online for the idea and can't find it

I'm guessing it ws for organising something

Tape them together side by side and you have a pair of binoculars!!! I'm guessing that's not why you wanted them.

@Dragonairy1 Blue Peter was posh kids' TV. I was more of a Magpie man.

I've seen people taping them together to organize socks and things.

I think it was probably something like that, but it was something that needed a longer tube than a toilet roll tube.
