Toilet Paper Roll Flowers

Do you find yourself quickly going through rolls of toilet paper? Have you found yourself thinking that there must be more you can do with these rolls than just throwing them away?

If you answered yes to these questions then this is the craft for you!!

While looking at one of my craft blogs I stumbled up this toilet roll flower wreath and my imagination took off.

Being that there is only two of us in my home, my dear mother-in-law helped us collect enough rolls to do this craft. You may have to enlist the help of loved ones to gather enough rolls, depending on the multitude of flowers you want to create... that is unless you are a hyper wiper of sorts.

Step 1: Collect toilet paper and paper towel rolls.

Step 2: Cut rolls horizontally. Each of these cuts become a petal, you should get approximately 10 petals per toilet roll.

Step 3: Pinch the ends as necessary to create a petal-like formation.

Step 4: Take out your trusted hot glue gun and begin using a dab of glue toward one tip of the petal to create a flower-like look.

Step 5: Choose two colors of paint for you flower. One color for the inside of the petal and the other for the outside.
I chose Aqua and Beige to match the colors of my room.

Step 6: Pick out buttons, beads, gems, sequence, or whatever you choose to glue in at the center of the flower.

Step 7: Put them up on your wall and bask in your work!
