Paper Roll Art How-To:

It's great that we finally have curb-side recycling here in St. John's, but rather than putting all those leftover wrapping paper rolls in with the your paper scraps, why not make some fabulous wall art with them!


Here's what you're going to need:


- paper rolls of any kind (wrapping paper, paper towel or toilet paper rolls work great)
- ruler
- pencil
- scissors
- glue



1. Start by flattening the paper roll. 




2. Next, measure equal amounts along the paper roll. I used inches. 



3. Cut along your markings.


4. Start gluing them together in any random order, like so!




5. Hang on a wall using finishing nails or thumbtacks! Voila!




I think it looks super-cute in the bathroom :)

The possibilities are endless with this craft...differences in size, shape, colour and decorations could really jazz this up!

Happy crafting everyone!

- peace and love,
