Don't chuck your toilet rolls into the trash. Don't even recycle them. Instead cut up, glue and paint the tubes to make a surprisingly trendy and beautiful decoration. This is how we made ours at our Eco-Mosque.
You will need:
1. Roughly divide (or measure) a tissue paper roll into three sections and cut
2. Gently pinch the ends to make a leaf shape
3. Beginning with five or four leaf-shaped tubes glue the tubes into the first centre flower
4. Proceed to glue single tubes between the gaps. Glue 4 rows of tubes all around the centre to create a larger flower without pieces sticking out
5. Once the glue has set, paint the whole decoration back and front with a spray paint can. I used gold for one (not shown) and metallic blue. Please use paint that is as environmentally friendly as possible.
6. To hang your flower, thread a length of strong yarn from two of the uppermost leaf-shapes and tie to a ceiling hook.
The finished decoration! Hang in your madrassa classroom, outside your front door, on a bare wall or from the ceiling!
Tips: Make several flower shapes to produce a firework display. Mount against a white wall for dramatic contrast and experiment with more wavy, branch-like shapes.
You will need:
- 25-30 empty paper rolls
- Scissors
- Glue gun and glue gun melt sticks (or a stapler)
- Non-toxic spray paint can
- String
