Okay, so you'll see these all over the internet, but here's my version!
Yes these flowers ARE made out of toilet paper rolls! Cool Huh?
I used 4 rolls for 4 flowers!
So you pretty much equally mark sections on the rolls. Each roll is about 4 inches long, so I made mine 1/2 inch long. So if you do the math, that means that each roll makes eight little sections if you used the same section size as mine! I just cut mine with regular scissors, but you can be fancy and exact and use a knife, but I tried it and it didn't work well for me! No my pieces aren't cut very exact, but for where I hung them, it doesn't matter! No one can see them up close!
My flowers each have 10 petals, but go crazy and do what ever design you feel like!
I painted before I glued, but if you're planning on spray painting, you'll want to glue before you paint! I found hot glue worked best for me, but elmer's glue works too! Just use paper clips to hold them together while they dry.
I hand painted mine, and then after they dried I glued them. If you're planning on hand painting, I found it's slightly easier to paint the inside and then the outside of the little section!
I found this REALLY easy and fun to do!
