Christmas Poinsettias from TP Rolls

Created these Christmas Poinsettias using Toilet Paper (TP) Rolls. Paint the TP Rolls (red for the petals & green for the leaves. Allow to dry. Standard TP Rolls are 4" long. After dry then cut the TP rolls 1/2" width. Larger than 1/2" width can be used for other projects. Arrange the petals & leaves and attach together. I used several different adhesives (see below). String several together to make garland decoration.



















adhesive: glue dots, red tape, Zig 2 way glue
paint: Tulip acrylic - green, red
Toilet Paper Rolls: standard size 4"
