DIY Toilet Paper Art

I only just realized how popular this toilet paper art was that I put on Pinterest about a year ago! Hopefully here I can help answer some questions. This was one of the easiest projects I've ever done, and I love how it turned out!


First things first, if you're wanting to recreate this project or any other TP project, go ahead and start saving up your old rolls. I found that Charmin has the best rolls. I like them because they're white-ish and all of the paper comes off easily. 

Step One - Cut toilet paper rolls. I cut mine into five equal sections. I measure mine off, but it's not necessary.
Step Two - Paint rolls. After trying other toilet paper projects form Pinterest, I have found that it's easier to paint the rolls at this step rather than waiting until the flowers are assembled. 
Step Three - Construct your flowers. I used hot glue to make sure that the flower stayed together. You can add as many "petals" (TP rolls) to your flowers as you want. I used five here, but I also have done a project with nine flower petals. 
Step Four - Create your arrangement by gluing your flowers to a canvas

I love this project because it's so easy and inexpensive! Let me know if you have any questions!
