Toilet Roll Flower Stamping

Here  are the things you may need:

• Scissors
• Toilet roll
• Paint
• White paper

Step 1 :We cut slits in the toilet paper rolls about 1-2 inches deep and then fanned out the strips. We cut different flower ends on the tip of each strip. Some of the kids cut triangles, some cut rounded ends, and some just left them as rectangles.

Step 2 :I put red, yellow, and pink paint on different paper plates and let the kids use their toilet rolls to stamp flower shapes onto their construction paper. At first, we tried to use a different stamp for each color, but they soon got mixed up and ended up making really beautiful flower colors. We also found that pressing each petal down while stamping gave a better result.

Step 3 :Most of the kids stamped 4 or 5 different flowers onto their pages and then we let them dry.

Toilet Paper Roll Wall Flower

Here  are the things you may need:

• Toilet Paper Rolls
• Glue
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Pencil

Step 1.Collect as many toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls you can get your grubby little hands on.

Step 2. Flatten the rolls so you can cut them into 1-inch circles (petals). There is no need to measure exactly! I cut the roll in half and then cut each half in half again, until I reached my desired size.

Step 3. Continue to cut rolls until you have reached your desired amount. It’s ok if they are not all cut perfectly even. The different sized rolls and different length cuts will add dimension to your piece.

Step 4. Start building your flower with a basic 5-point star formation. (You don’t have to start from this point you can make whatever shape you like.)

 Step 5. Start glueing the petals together. I used a hot glue gun, but you could use any type of glue you prefer.

Paper Flower

That's why  they  are very popular decoration for home, parties, weddings and many  other occasions. There  are many  creative ways to make easy and beautiful paper flowers. Here's a perfect example.

Let's try it!

Here  are the things you may need:

• Colored paper ( Green, Red)
• Glue
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Wire

1 step:

Cut the colored paper in strips with width of about 6 cm. The length depends on your preferences. If you want the pentals to be more voluminous, you can  use longer strips. Cut  fringes on the strip, leaving an edge  with a width of about 2 cm. Apply glue on the edge of the strip.

2 step:

Place one end of  the wire on the edge of the  strip and start rolling.

Place  it in a nice vase and enjoy!

Little Monster

Here are the supplies you may need:

• Cardboard
• Scissors 
• Lead pencil
• Glue
• Callipers
• thread
• colorful paper

 

 Step 1: Trace two small circles onto thick cardstock (or cardboard). As a rule – the smaller your circle, the smaller your pompom. I used a shot glass for this step (keepin’ it classy)

Step 2: Place a smaller template (in my case, a nickel) in the center of your first circle and trace around it

 Step 3: Carefully cut your circle templates out (this does not need to be perfect)

Step 4: Place both circle templates together and tie a long length of wool around them

Step 5: Wrap the wool around the templates

Step 6: Keep wrapping…

Step 7: … until it looks something like this. If your length of wool runs out, not to worry, simply tie a new length  on and keep going – nobody will know. (Note: the more times you wrap the string, the denser your pompom will become. This pompom ended up being QUITE full)

Step 10: Once you’ve cut all around the template, spread the two cardstock pieces apart

Step 11: Thread a short length of wool in between the two cardstock templates and tie it in a tight knot. Then, carefully pull the cardstock templates off at either side.

Good Jobb!
