Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art

So I know what you’re thinking, “Toilet paper roll wall art? Seriously?” Yes, seriously. This was an art project a friend of mine tackled a few months back. When she first started collecting the toilet paper rolls, I was a skeptic. How could a roll of cardboard become art? But she proved me wrong. Follow these simple instructions and you can complete this simple and creative project too!

Materials:

• Toilet Paper rolls

• Scissors

• White glue

• Stapler

• Paint + brushes

• Glitter

• Laundry pins

Steps:

1. 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, whatever 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 won’t need any glue.

This project is a fun and easy alternative to forking over the big bucks for a unique piece of art or settling for a generic, over-priced work. The possibilities for shapes and colors are endless, so start collecting those toilet paper rolls today!
