Above the bathroom toilet I needed art. I have been painting pictures and framing them, but I didn't want a painted picture. I recalled some neat toilet paper roll art I had seen on Pinterest. They slice toilet paper rolls into circles and crimp an end to make them into a point. Then glue them to a wall in a flower and vine motif. Not something I would do in my house. But I kinda liked the idea.
The Inspiration
- Toilet paper roll art on Pinterest (take a look, my description doesn't do it justice)
- Art to inspire you in the bathroom
Supplies
- Balsa wood scraps
- Paper straws
- Gold paint (I used a gold paint marker) and black paint
- Tweezers
- Quick Grip glue
- Knife
I cut a 1x1 inch square from my scraps of balsa. Then I painted it gold and trimmed the edges with black paint for contrast.
I took small slices off my gold and white paper straw (from Target) and used my tweezer to make a point on the circles (like a flower petal). If you press too hard or have a thin straw you might already have a point made as you cut.
Then, I used the Quick Grip glue and glued them down in a flower shape.
The picture doesn't do it justice. It's super zoomed in. Take a look at it on my bathroom reveal posts. It looks better on the wall. Simple and easy!
