How to Make a Toilet Paper Tube Flower Garland

Learn how to make a DIY toilet paper tube flower garland using old recycled toilet paper rolls in this easy, step-by-step tutorial!

Materials

  • Cardboard Tubes
  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue
  • Single Hole Punch
  • Twine

Instructions

  • Follow this toilet paper flower tutorial to make a batch of cardboard flowers...
    Cut ½" sections from flattened cardboard toilet paper tubes.
  • Fold a cardboard section in half and hot glue the inside as you pinch the base.
  • This will create 2 petals.
    Repeat and make a handful of 2-petal sections.
  • Hot glue 2-petal sections together by dabbing hot glue near the base and pinching the sections together until the glue dries.
  • Repeat for as many petals as you want your flowers to have.
    The flowers in this garland have 7 two-petal sections for a total of 14 petals per toilet paper flower.
  • Use a single-hole punch to make a hole near the end of one petal section.
    Repeat for each of the toilet paper flowers.
  • Thread a long section of twine through the hole of each flower to add them to the garland.
  • Tie loops at each end of the twine string, and your toilet paper flower garland is done!

Notes

  • Use cardboard tubes from inside toilet paper rolls or paper towels.
  • You can choose how many cardboard petals you want to add to your flowers. You can use 5 for a more spread-out flower, or 7 for a condensed flower.
  • Layer additional garlands on the mantel along with this rustic, neutral flower garland to create an interesting, fun look!
