That is great too....BUT it looks like Toilet Paper. My idea is to look like a tissue dispenser not TP for the bathroom. Nice drawing. I use a lot of tissues this time a year, and TP is much cheaper, I also have dust allergies.... this keeps the TP dust contained nicely. I will try your idea, but turned so it stands. thanks!

Thought of another way you could do this with the same materials too:
Rather than cutting the spindle out of the "lid" (as I'll refer to that part from now on), why not instead cut a small 1-2 inch wide slit along the length of the "container" (transparent part that twist locks into the "lid") from top to bottom, and then use the spindle to hold the TP roll (without removing cardboard tube).
Effectively you could then fix the "lid" to a wall, position the slit on the "container" so it was facing down, and you have another form of public TP dispenser, as the TP revolves on the spindle and can be pulled out without crumpling through the slit at the bottom.

Thanks Bruno for the nice photo add. I love making my mobiles, never a dull moment around here...especially this time of year. Get your orders in now! time is running short for Xmas!
My husband leaves these things all over the house and I've yet to find a good way to recycle them. And cats, Will, cats. You're right, my cats will be hard pressed to find a way into this roll. Fantastic.

And the brilliant part, and possibly the best selling point, is that it's CAT PROOF.
What? No one else's cat plays with the toilet paper roll at 3am?

Wow, just like one of those paper towel dispensers in public bathrooms, but smaller, and flipped upside-down.
