Toilet Paper Roll Poinsettia Wreath Tutorial

Here is my Poinsettia Wreath made from toilet paper rolls.

I've seen a couple of poinsettias made out of toilet paper rolls recently and failed to mark where to find them, so here is how I did it:

1) Flatten empty toilet paper roll.                                    

2) I used a guillotine type paper cutter to cut roll into 1/2 inch pieces.

3) Paint inside & out with your choice of acrylic paint & let dry completely.

4) I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue 5  petals together at the center  .(see Picture below for samples of clips to use to hold petals together for drying)


5) After the glue dried, I applied Aileen's Tacky glue to top edges of the petals and  gently patted into fine glitter.

For the glittery poinsettia sample below I used this method:
I sprayed each poinsettia with Elmers Craft Bond Spray Adhesive
 Then I dropped into a square tupperware container that contained fine glitter, closed tightly & shook till glitter adhered to the flower.  Last I added a center with green Stickles glitter glue by Rangers.

 6)  To assemble the wreath I glued strategic petals together to form a circle (circle of sorts...mine turned out a little wonky haha) I again used the Helmar Adhesive with the clip holding method seen to the left.  Then I Hot Glued green silk petals from Poinsettias from a local craft store to the back of flowers.

Attach a ribbon through a top petal & wala there you have a TP Poinsettia Wreath!

Hope you start saving those empties & let us know what  you make out of them :-)
