TP Roll Flower Wall Art: A Tutorial

I know these TP rolls are all over Pinterest, but I figured I’d make a post anyway, because not everyone is on Pinterest (I know, can’t even imagine!). I had this space over my dresser that I filled with some embroidery hoops covered with various fabrics. It looked cute, but there weren’t enough, and my lazy bum didn’t get any more. So when I made these TP roll flowers I knew exactly what I would do with them!

I started by cutting the rolls (or paper towel rolls)  into about 1/2 in circles.

 

I used Zots (or glue dots), but you could definitely use plain old glue. If you do however, you’ll have to pin them together using closepins until they dry.

 

I put a Zot on one side of the end of 5 rolls.

 

I glued them together in the center to form a flower.

 

I left two of them like this, and then added another row of petals to two more.

 

Now comes the spray paint!

 

I started by spraying a light coat.

 

After about 3 or 4 coats it was all done.

 

The only thing was by the time it dried, it had dripped a little, and you could see the brown through the paint. I didn’t really care, only because it was so far up on the wall that you can’t tell. I would suggest using some kind of primer before painting it though.

 

I LOVE the way they look with the embroidery hoops!
