| Do-It-Yourself: Paper roll Yellow flower centrepiece |
Hey everyone! Many of you who are there on my
friends list on Facebook know that I have recently shifted to Mumbai with my
husband and am going crazy with do-it-yourself home decor which are no pressure
on pocket and can be made with stuff available easily in your home. Almost all
of you have been asking me to share tutorials of the same, and so after much
postponing, I am starting today with a cheerful yellow flower showpiece that I
made for filling up a corner of our bookshelf till more books come in! Let’s
get started!
Things we will need:
·
Cardboard roll (I got mine from the
kitchen tissue paper roll that I use. You may substitute with agarbatti packages with similar shapes,
toilet paper roll etc.)
·
A paper cutter (or a sharp knife) and a pair
of scissors
·
An empty plastic bowl (I washed and used
a takeaway dinner container that we normally throw away)
·
Acrylic paints and brushes
·
Popsicle stick (You may use an empty pen
refill and colour it before using)
·
Pompom or colourful buttons
·
Fevicol or any strong adhesive (Avoid
Feviquick)
“How to” Steps:
1. Use
the paper cutter to cut one inch pieces from the cardboard roll. (You may mark
the roll with a marker first if your hands are not steady)
2. Pinch
the circle rings into petal shapes with your fingers.
3. Try
to smoothen the rugged edges of the pieces with scissors.
4. Stick
together the pieces like shown in picture with fevicol. Let them rest for 15
minutes at least.
5. Take
a flat brush and use bright yellow acrylic paint directly on your flower. You
may use any colour you want. I wanted yellow just so that it matches my living
room furnishings. Let it dry.
6. Paste
two pompoms on either side of the flower center. You may also use colourful large
buttons.
7. Take
your plastic bowl and use a thinner brush to randomly draw some “grass” at the
base with green acrylic paint. Let dry.
8. Take
the popsicle stick and drive a hole into the bowl with the sharp end. You may also
use a thick needle or compass to make this hole.
9. Keep
the length of the stick less as we want our flower petal to rest on the
container base.
10.
Adjust the stick height and gently paste the
flower on the base as shown in the pictures.
11.
Your bright and summery flower is ready to
brighten any corner of your living room. If you are a mom or dad, your make this
with your child. They will love this for sure J

super budget decor ideas and I will oblige :D
Also, check out this “vase” I made out of a sherbet
bottle by just painting it with green acrylic paint and this empty Shrikhand container
