SIMPLE DIY USING PAPER ROLLS - WALL ART

Every week each household throw out several paper rolls from toilet paper and hand towels.  Here is a neat way to use these in a DIY project; a wall art.

Material:
Rolls from toilet papers or hand towels
Elmers glue
Small paint brush





Collect several toilet paper rolls or hand towels.

Cut the rolls in 1/4 inch circles (the number of circles required will depend on how big you will want to make this wall art).  You should get about 10 circles from each toilet roll.


Once you have collected your pieces, you are ready to glue them together.  Start with one circle (this will be the building block for the rest of the wall art.



Use the circles to form  a leaf-like shape by squeezing  the ends together.




Add these leaf-life pieces around the circle that will become the middle. Use a small brush and apply glue to each piece and put in place.  Allow each row to dry before adding the others.

Add the next row and glue each piece together.  Leave to dry for a about 5-10 minutes.



Add new row of leaf-like pieces and glue together. Leave to dry.



Continue adding rows until you get the desired size of the wall art that you would like.  I wanted a large size since I intend to place this on a large wall.


I did 6 rows (approximately 19 inch across).

Remember, you don't have to be perfect.  It is a wall art so be your own Picasso!



Finished Project on my wall (I lightly sprayed art with a bonze color).

I didn't add any hanging tool; I choose one area and hang it on the nail in the wall.
