29th PoPP & Cardboard Flowers for Blondie

Welcome Painters!!!

I’m sure you’ve seen these toilet paper creations throughout bloggyland…

 

well… of course I needed to make some.

“Blondie’s” room needed some updated art, so we had fun creating.

It’s so simple!

~ Collect your toilet paper rolls

~ Flatten your toilet paper rolls

~ Cut your toilet paper rolls

~ Staple your cut pieces together

(I used a mini stapler I had… you can find them at Dollar Tree)

~ Paint if you want!  I used a can of glossy white spray paint

(Wal-Mart brand for under $1)

The hardest part was the painting because of all the angles and the paint seemed to absorb into the cardboard.

I found cute colored push pins at Target… makes for an adorable flower center!

Cute flower art for a sweet 8-yr-old = $2

So what have you been painting???

    Those flowers look gorgeous. The perfect accent for that wall. I bet people about fall over when you tell them how you made the flowers. Great project. Time to get out my bookmarker!

    Thanks everyone!
    Leanne we made eight flowers total. I still have a bunch of toilet paper rolls saved… I'm not sure if I'll make more for her room or for another project… hum?

    Can't wait to try this. When you say cut the rolls of tp – are you cutting them in three so you have three flowers from each roll?

    Maryann @ Domestically-Speaking says:

    Carmie ~ I'd say they were cut into at least 10+ pieces… each cut was about 1/4" thick.
