I quite enjoyed doing that super-quick crafty thing with tinsel and paint for Cheap Luxury yesterday, so here’s another one. I saw something similar done with toilet rolls on the internet somewhere, so I came up with a Christmassy variation:
1. Flatten a toilet roll tube and cut into 4 equal sections. You’ll need more than one tube per flower.
2. Using a glue gun, glue five or six ‘petals’ together in the shape of a flower.
3. Spray with gold spray paint. I also used some gold glitter glue for sparkle.
4. When dry, stick a red button in the centre of the flower, tie on a bit of red ribbon, and hang up somewhere to catch the light or on your Christmas tree.
Once again, be VERY CAREFUL when you use a glue gun – those babies get super hot.
To be continued…
Nice piece of work

so all that hard work was worth it?!… heh
Jill,
What a great idea. I always wondered if there was something useful that you could make out of toilet paper rolls and now you found it. Your flowers are beautiful. :-)

Thank you, that’s a wonderful idea, & pretty too. May I suggest using silver or gold spray paint also, for Xmas decorations?
That would be great, and maybe red as well? I’ll have to make some more now… :-)

Yes. You notice I hung them in the garden as well – you and I have THAT kind of a christmas season :-)
