Toilet Paper Flowers

We're sorry we haven't we haven't been on for so long!  We have been quite busy and for a while we couldn't even get into our blog for some weird reason. We did however start an Instagram to publish crafts on as well, our username is starsandrosescrafts. Anyways, we are back. Today we will show you how to make flowers from old toilet paper tubes, like this:
Materials:
-Toilet paper tubes, paper towel rolls or rapping paper rolls (it takes quite a few, but depends on the size you want your flower)
-Pencil/pen
-Ruler
-Scissors
-Hot glue gun with extra glue sticks


1) Press down on your toilet paper tubes, so they are now flat
2) Mark every inch on your tube using the ruler. All of my toilet paper tubes happened to be exactly 4 inches long. Then cut them out.

3) Using the hot glue gun, glue 5 pieces of toilet paper tube into a flower shape
4) Start going in circles around your small 5-peice flower, glueing the pieces in the indent between petals. I tried to make mine symmetrical, but found it hard to tell how much I had done on one side sometimes, so it didn't end up perfect.
5) Hang it! I hung mine at the end of our hallway, and am in the process of making more too
