Then I took that entire pile of rolls, folded them, and cut them into thin strips
Next step was to create flower like shapes that connect to each other
Now that I had a general design, it was time to glue each flower. Every 5 petals were glued together to form a flower. I used cloths pins to hold them together while the glue dried
I decided to paint some of the flowers light blue (using the left-over paint from our blue line project), and then leave the rest of the flowers in their natural look
Now that the flowers were all glued and painted, all that was left to do was to glue the flowers to each other and create a flowing connected design
My someone and I decided to hang it on the wall next to our TV. As always, my someone was in charge of the hammer while I was in charge of the photo taking...
What do you think...?

I love it, and I'm going to do it too!!! I've needed some kind of art for my dining room wall, now I have it!
tali, i am totally speechless. i love all of your DIY projects and this one blows me away! i love how you manage to always do it in style, keeping everything rather elegant and simple and not looking too "crafty." this is so awesome, i love the way it looks on your wall! wouldn't it be cool to keep adding more and more over time until eventually you have an entire wall of flowers?! that might be overkill... but the texture of an entire wall like that would be so cool!
anyway, you never fail to impress me :)
wow, what a great idea! love how it turned out. :)
this is so very wonderful! i love it. thanks so much for sharing.
Tali! It's gorgeous! I love it!
I'd have never guess that you made that out of toilet paper rolls. Toilet paper rolls?! They look great!
Too cool Tali! You guys are so crafty! Love it :) xo
oh my gosh! I've been saving up my rolls for months, wondering what the heck to do with them. 3 full garbage bags later & a family starting to plan their intervention... THIS! I love it!
this is beautiful! i can't over how you took something random like a toilet paper roll and made it into something so pretty :) i would love to try it someday but my bunny gets dibs on all the toilet paper rolls my house produces... maybe she'll be nice enough to share...
i absolutely LOVE this!
Awsom!!! Love it =)
Çok estetik bir proje,ben bayıldım buna..kesinlikle eşimin ofisine uygulamayı düşünüyorum..
It's gorgeous! I love it! I think I am going to do it for my kids room. (with other colours)

Very very cute. I'll have to hide some of the tubes from my kids ;-)
This is a beatiful project, no cost project. Except for glue & glue gun. If you are a crafter like me you usually have 2-3 glue guns on hand anyway.
absolutely gorgeous!!
must make.
thankyou for posting this.

I love the project and colors. I also like how you call him "my someone." I think it's really sweet, and though strangers we may be, it makes me happy for you.
The photos you've shared are great. Rarely have I seen better photos for a DIY project! (And, after looking at your other posts, I am no longer surprised, but pleased and grateful, nonetheless.)
Can't wait to try this and will hang mine in the bathroom from whence the materials came! :)
Hi...I tried this too. Then I lined the toilet rolls with some scrap wall paper and some different wall paper on the outside. painted the edges black. Got a bit messy but I can tell that if I take my time, it would look good. Especially if one wanted to match some wallpaper in a room, but say on a painted wall or canvas. My example/test is here: http://pinterest.com/pin/196328864975521186/
I love this idea! I've been saving my toilet rolls to try this. Thanks for the inspiration! Well done!
