Floral wall art using paper rolls


Floral wall art using paper rolls

You will need:Toilette Paper rolls 
Scissors
White glue
Stapler
Paint + brushes
Glitter
Laundry pins





How to:
  • Crush paper roll
  • Cut into approximately 5 equal parts don’t have to be exact
  • place the rolls on a flat surface creating a desired  pattern. spend time trying different compositions and patterns.
  • glue where rolls are touching, hold with laundry pins to dry.
  • You may paint and add sparkles. Sprinkle the glitter on the wet paint, this way it will sticks and you wont need any glue.

Step by step

Took that entire pile of rolls, folded them, and cut them into thin strips

 Next step was to create flower like shapes that connect to each other

 Now that I had a general design, it was time to glue each flower. Every 5 petals were glued together to form a flower. I used cloths pins to hold them together while the glue dried

 I decided to paint some of the flowers light blue and then leave the rest of the flowers in their natural look
 Now that the flowers were all glued and painted, all that was left to do was to glue the flowers to each other and create a flowing connected design

 Hang it on the wall.


enjoy.
