DIY - Paper Roll Art

Its time for a quick and fun DIY! 
Lately I have been all for cheap and chic! I have seen many paper roll art, so I have decided to try one for my own. Its super simple and fast to do. You can go as crazy or as tame as you want. Its great for hanging and can be transformed for any theme and colour. 
Here we go:

Materials: Scissors, Super glue or glue gun (I used super glue), toilet paper rolls, your imagination


Step 1: Gather as many toilet paper rolls as you like and cut them about 2 cm wide.



Step 2: Arrange in any pattern you wish. You can make pretty flower shapes like me if you like.



Step 3: Glue all you pieces together and VOILA! Here is one of mine during Halloween.


What do you think?! Would love to see what amazing creations you can come up with.

DIY Halloween Inspired Tassels

Since Halloween is right around the corner.I decided to post a super easy and quick DIY.
All you will need is appropriate coloured plastic grocery bags, scissors and rope.Yup, that's it.

There are really only three steps.

First, cut your plastic bag into a triangle shape, or any shape your prefer, really.
Second, cut slits in at the bottom of your shape, to create the tassled effect. See below, for my example.






























Third, measure the rope to your desired length, and tie the tassels to it, spacing them out as far or as close as you would like them to be to each other. I tied the top corner of my triangle to the rope.

And, result.

Looking back, I could have made my rope a bit longer, and made my tassels a bit larger, but hey, next time.
