Faux Wrought Iron Toilet Paper Roll Wreath

I am so excited because I finally accumulated enough empty toilet paper rolls to make another wreath. If you haven't seen my white springtime toilet paper roll wreath Click Here to see it!

This is my new favorite craft. I actually had trouble deciding what I wanted to do with this because there are so many options. I liked the little flowers from my springtime wreath so I decided to go with those again. I did know that I wanted to do this wreath black because it looks so much like wrought iron.

This was surprisingly hard to photograph so I added a couple of different angles so everyone can see it better.

Toilet paper roll wreaths are so stinkin easy it's crazy! All you need is a whole bunch of empty rolls, a hot glue gun, and a little bit of imagination... and if you don't have that then just copy mine :) 

Here is a tutorial to show you how easy it is to make a toilet paper roll flower.

1. Flatten out a roll and cut it into four pieces.. They don't even have to be perfect! How easy is that!?!?

2. Fold three pieces in half. You only need three pieces for a flower so you get four flowers from three rolls.

3. Add a dab of glue in the crease and hold for at least 15 seconds until the glue hardens. 

4. Add another dab of glue on the top of one of the pieces and lay another piece on top of it. Repeat with the three pieces...

To get this...

5. Crimp each of the six pieces by pushing in the top...

To get this...

6. Take the two ends in your fingers and add a dab of glue in the middle and hold until dry.

 To get this...

We now have a bucket under the sink in the bathroom and everyone knows that we do not throw out any type of paper rolls. If you want to start making toilet paper roll crafts I suggest a bucket :) Happy crafting everyone!
