Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album



Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album








You are never going to believe what my project is made out of today... TOILET PAPER ROLLS! Yes, nothing like recycling those lovely rolls on a project handmade from the heart! So basically the project today is going to be mostly self explanatory but inspirational! I only used 4 rolls because honestly, I didn't place them under anything so they wouldn't flatten out like I was hoping. This would be easy for you though, you would just need to set them under some books or a case of soda for a few days, then they would flatten right up for ya! I like to start out by making my distressed paper flowers first. I made more than I needed. I am not using any pictures in this album, but rather definitions. On the front of my album, I will put "Definitions of You" but I need to actually type and print that out.  I just measured out my rolls and cut the paper 1/8 of an inch less than that. Then, I decorated each roll with flowers and Close To My Heart Patterned Paper.  I used CTMH NEW Circle Maker to make the tabs on each roll, and cut a piece of brown cardstock to fit inside to hide each definition. The stamp set I used is State Of Mind {D1416}

You have me in Stitches!


So I just cannot get enough of Close To My Hearts NEW Cherry O Level II Paper Pack! {X7123B}
I decided to make a fun quilt pattern because I couldn't choose which patterns I wanted to use on my project today! So lets get started!

You are going to need to punch out some squares, or even cut some squares. Mine are 1 1/4 inch squares.  You are also going to need a blank postcard sized greeting card, mine is 4 x 5 1/2. 


Now the way to position these squares are up to you. I went off the top and off the side a little and I will trim that up later. The reason I did this is so that the card isn't "perfect". We want it to look like this is just a little section of a much larger quilt.


When you are done putting all of your quilt squares on, you are going to put little X's along where your patterns meet.  

It is ok if they are not straight, and it is ok if the X's are little, or big. 

Then just simply decorate your fabulous piece of art! I also used some My Stickease Stickers from the Cherry O Collection {X7123C}

Tips:
*Make You Quilt Pattern go Diagonally.
*If you are using Striped paper, change the way your stripes go. 
*Pick out the areas of your pattern paper that shows the best quality
