Isn't this beautiful?! Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of wall space for something this size, but I do have a tiny spot in our master bathroom.
So I grabbed 4 toilet paper rolls..
...and flattened them out. Then I marked off each roll and cut them into 1/2 inch increments.
I hot glued the corners together into tail-like shapes, and then glued each tail gether to form a group of four.
I glued them into two rows and then glued the two rows together to make a small scroll pattern.
Instead of painting them a bright color, I decided to spray just a light coat of brown to make it look a little rusted, like iron.
Then I hung it in the bathroom...before....
and after...
Then, I just started playing with what I had left over and made some squares that I painted black. They almost look like iron candle holders...which could be done as well. The possibilities on this are endless.
This is very cool! Do you mind if I feature this on my blog?
ReplyDeleteSure, that would be great! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks terrific, how creative you are! Nice blog you have :-)
ReplyDeletethose are so cute! I'm curious, what did you use to hang them on the wall?
ReplyDeleteWho was the other crafter... you didn't link back to her blog and it would be nice to give credit where it's due and also allow others to see what else she's posted.
ReplyDeleteIt's The How To Gal as seen in the photo. I thought I had it set up to link back if you click on it.. Her name is on the photo.

ReplyDeleteIf anyone else has tried this, please post some pics! I'm saving up the TP rolls, but don't have enough yet. I'd love to see what other people have created. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had, what I thought, was a brilliant idea! I'm using gift wrap rolls for mine! I've got several already empty to use!
ReplyDeleteI guess if you wanted to be sure they were the EXACT same size and thickness, you could buy a few rolls at the dollar store, too. Can't wait to start!
