DIY Wall Decor



Hi guys! I have a simple DIY that is quick, cute, and good for the environment. All the supplies needed are everyday household items. Everyone uses toilet paper but what about the tube? I mean think about it. Every time you throw one away it's just wasted and it kills trees every time a new toilet paper roll is made! I actually stumbled upon some pictures of toilet paper tube art on pinterest when I was looking for some easy DIY wall decor like the one below. So I thought why not make some flowers? 

Picture from pinterest

The only supplies you need are a toilet tube, scissors, tape and some ribbon (optional). 


Cut the tube into 6 thin strips like this. Each tube makes about three 6-petal flowers.


Bend the strips into petal shape. (Left- round and unbent; Right- bent into flower petal).


Arrange the petals next to each other and tape them together one at a time. Tape them towards the middle of the flower. Repeat for all 6 (You can do a 5 petal flower too.)


And you're done! You can tape some ribbon around the center of the flower to add a pop of color. I don't actually display my flowers like this. I just put this up for the purpose of taking pictures. I was planning on arranging the flowers on the wall like the pinterest picture (without any hooks or string) but if you want to know how to do this display I just took some paper clips and twisted them to make double-sided hooks and I strung them on another color ribbon.


I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Have a great day!

Two Tags!

Hey everyone! I was tagged by MissJammyxo and Laila to the 8 Most Worn Things Tag and the About Me Tag. I wrote the "currently" part of About Me tag last night so it's not what I really am doing now. I just uploaded some photos this morning (the lighting wasn't very good last night).  I hope you guys enjoy!

8 Most Worn Things Tag

1.Most worn lipstick/lipgloss? Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait

2.Most worn earrings? I got these babies at Kohl's. The camera does not do these justice. They're much prettier in person.

3.Most worn top?  I had this top for a couple of years and it still fits nicely. I get a lot of compliments on it. It's a very bright floral tank. 

4.Most worn nail polish? Sally Hansen Fuchsia Power

5.Most worn shoes? Jessica Simpson Lepolia Flats. They're very comfortable. I never get blisters in these.

6.Most worn hair product?  Don't have one... I switch up my hair products a lot.
7.Most worn perfume? Bath and Body Works Paris Amour. It smells so good. 

8.Most worn bag/purse? Vera Bradley Sophie in Island Blooms
