  Step 1

  Gather your supplies. For this project, I used plain old toilet paper roles, (the number you need depends on what design you decide on for your project, mine used around 13 I think...) glue, and a bushed metal appearance spray paint.

• 

  Step 2

  Crush your toilet paper roll in half, and cut it crossways. You could measure if you like, but I just guess-timated based on the look I was going for. For my project, each toilet paper role yielded 6 "petals".

• 

  Step 3

  Keep cutting until you've got tons of these, the basic unit for your piece.

• 

  Step 4

  Begin glueing the "petals" together. How you do that depends on what kind of pattern you're going for.

• 

  Step 5

  I found that using bobby pins (any type of clip would work too) to hold my pieces together was helpful. It gave the glue between each segment a chance to dry while I continued glueing...

• 

  Step 6

  Since a 5 petal flower shape was the basis for my piece, this is what most of my base units ended up looking like. After I made a bunch, I glued them all together in a pattern I liked, and also added a few other viney/leafy looking segments here and there.

• 

  Step 7

  Once you're happy with how your piece looks, time for spray paint! (I used a metal finish paint, but any color will do!)

• 

  Step 8

  Wait until it dries, and you'll have something like this! (Please note I didn't spray paint every piece individually, this is just an example I did for the tutorial. When I actually made my wall art, I glued the entire thing together first, then painted it as a whole.)

  Step 9

  You're done! Now hang your new wall art wherever your little heart pleases, stand back, and admire :)

Did anyone work out how to put it on wall?

Kerry, You can put several small nails and fit the petals of the flowers, once I did something in that style, but it isn't so good 'cause you'll do a lot of holes in the wall. It is good to paint the nails in the same tone of the flowers if you decide use them. Or you can pass a wire of faux metal(smtg like spiral of notebook), as she recommended, from the beginning until the end of the floral arrangement.It's the best way to unit a lot of things, so you'll use just 3 nails (1 in the beggining, 1 in the middle and 1 at the end of the arrangement. It's easy.

I did not have any spray paint so I had to use nail polish and it turned out amazing because I had a lot of contrast
