Paper Towel Roll Wall Decor

Yup, you read that right!

A wall decor piece out of something that is as cheap and plentiful as the come, paper towel rolls! 

This was pretty popular around blog land a few months ago I just never got around to it, but I thought it would be a great project to do with the 4 year old class for art but then wasn't able to teach the class. I decieded that instead I would just experiment with it on my own to see what I could come up with and what problems I would encounter. 

I made two squares that I ended up hanging over my mantle and I am very pleased with the way they came out!

All you need is:

• Paper towel rolls
• Hot glue gun
• Spray paint

First I flattened my rolls:

Then cut them with my paper cutter into one inch pieces:

Then I glued four together at the edges:

Then make four and line them up:

Then glue those points together:

Now at this point You could just make four strips and glue them together but I chose to just build and add off the first strip. Eventually you end up with this:

Mine is four circles by four circles. Then I spray painted them white, took a few coats, and hung them over the mantle.

I can't wait to see what a group of four year olds creates with this idea!
