Patriotic Toilet Paper Roll Garland

Tuesday, May 08, 2012


Hello Friends! Another toilet paper roll project... I just can't get enough!

With Memorial Day and the Fourth of July coming up I'm getting some decorations around early this year. While making my Wrought Iron Toilet Paper Roll Wreath, it dawned on me how easy it would be to string the TP roll flowers onto some twine to make a rustic looking garland for the upcoming holidays.

This couldn't get any easier.. or cheaper for that matter...

Click Here to see a tutorial on how to make a toilet paper roll flower.

After making up 12 flowers I punched a hole in the top of each and spray painted them red, white, and blue.



I ended up going with a natural polished hemp I picked up for a great price. I also like the look and feel of it better than the twine I looked at.

To string the flowers onto the hemp rope I simply tied a small knot on either side of the flowers to keep them from slipping down. I spaced them out about an inch or so apart.





That's it... That's all it takes to add a fun handmade patriotic decoration to your holiday parties.

Enjoy!
