Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art - 3
Instructions
You Will Need
o Glue
o Scissors
1. 
Gather your supplies. For this project, I used
plain old toilet paper roles, (the number you need depends on what design you
decide on for your project, mine used around 13 I think...) glue, and a bushed
metal appearance spray paint.
2. 
Crush your toilet paper roll in half, and cut
it crossways. You could measure if you like, but I just guess-timated based on
the look I was going for. For my project, each toilet paper role yielded 6
"petals".
3.
3. 
Keep cutting until you've got tons of these,
the basic unit for your piece.

Begin glueing the "petals" together.
How you do that depends on what kind of pattern you're going for.
5.
5. 
I found that using bobby pins (any type of
clip would work too) to hold my pieces together was helpful. It gave the glue
between each segment a chance to dry while I continued glueing...

6. 
Since a 5 petal flower shape was the basis for
my piece, this is what most of my base units ended up looking like. After I
made a bunch, I glued them all together in a pattern I liked, and also added a
few other viney/leafy looking segments here and there.

7. 
Once you're happy with how your piece looks,
time for spray paint! (I used a metal finish paint, but any color will do!)
8.
8. 
Wait until it dries, and you'll have something
like this! (Please note I didn't spray paint every piece individually, this is
just an example I did for the tutorial. When I actually made my wall art, I
glued the entire thing together first, then painted it as a whole.)
9.
9. 
You're done! Now hang your new wall art
wherever your little heart pleases, stand back, and admire :)
And
you're done!

Lets get going
Toilette Paper rolls
Scissors
White glue
Stapler
Paint + brushes
Glitter
Laundry pins
You will need:
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 use a stapler as an alternative, what ever is easier. I find that glue is easier for the younger kids.
- You may paint and add sparkles. Sprinkle the glitter on the wet paint, this way it will sticks and you wont need any glue.
- You may expend the pattern in to an organic cell growth. The challenge is when to say STOP.

Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art - 1
Here was my plan of attack–toilet paper or paper towel rolls. I tried using some wrapping paper rolls, but they were a little too thick to cut through easily, and they didn’t measure the same in width as the t.p. That stands for toilet paper—we’re tight like that.
I measured out the rolls by about 1 1/2” marks and cut them into their little strips. Once they’re all cut out, I glued the joints of them together. I used hot glue because I knew I’d be painting them. Plus, it’s waaaaay faster.
I’ve seen them attached and arranged in a variety of ways, but I was very careful not to make mine too flowery. I didn’t really want flowers, but I did want a soft pattern. (The canvas was from Michaels for $15—it remains unpainted.)
I took the rolls/now shapes to the basement and spray painted away. I would highly recommend using primer for this. Obviously, these suckers soaked up the paint. I followed up with some glossy white paint.
So here it is. Toilet paper wall art. For $15.00.
Because my bedding and curtains have gray in them, I liked that the insides of the shapes throw off a bit of a gray tint. If you’re looking for a more solid color, I would look into painting them a little more carefully inside—perhaps with a paint brush?
I’ll probably still play around with the shape of it. They’re easy to move around since I just attached with a little dollop (I like that word) of hot glue. When I get tired of it, I can throw out the rolls and reuse the canvas.
There’s some pretty good t.p. art out there. Googling it will provide you with a number of pictures, and you can just go from there. No “big reveal” of the bedroom just yet. Still some things to do, but THAT was a biggie.
