TP Art

I saw various toilet paper artwork throughout the web. I was intrigued and excited to try it myself. This was the easiest and most earth-friendly artwork I have ever done.

Materials: Blank canvas, 7 empty toilet paper rolls, and a glue gun.

First, I cut the toilet paper rolls. I smashed the toilet paper rolls flat and cut them into equal pieces. After that I put the canvas on the table and laid out my flowers exactly how I wanted them. Once I got them set, I hot glued the flower petals together and laid them to dry. Then I glued them to the canvas. The great thing about hot gluing on canvas is that when I get tired of this particular artwork, the glue can be pealed off the canvas if done carefully.

After that I began spray painting the entire artwork. I used Krylon satin white spray paint. Not much to that. And it looks pretty good hanging on my dining room wall.
