DIY: Flowers expended to wall art using paper rolls

You will need:

Toilette Paper rolls
Scissors
White glue
Stapler
Paint + brushes
Glitter
Laundry pins
How to:

• 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, what ever 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 wont need any glue.

• You may expend the pattern in to an organic cell growth. The challenge is when to say STOP.

You may see some more examples for this project at the shared flicker photo pool. I hope you will upload yours as well, if you cant figure flicker out, drop me a note.
