PAPER TUBE FLOWER

Time Needed: 15 minutes :)

Materials Needed:
3-4 paper tubes
scissors
markers (optional)
craft glue

 
1. Flatten the paper tubes.

2. Repeat :)

3. Now, cut a straight strip from your tube, mine was about a half-inch in width.

The finished strip should look like this!

5. Lay the strip you just cut on top of the tube, and use as a guide to cut an identical piece. It’s important that all your pieces are the same width.

6. Continue this step until you have cut up all of your tubes.

7. Now, begin gluing your pieces together in any shapes or forms you’d like. 

8. A simple flower is always a good base shape to start with.

9. Continue to add pieces to make your piece look as elegant as you’d like!

10. Hang on your wall and tada! you’re finished!

 

One of our DIY admins has tried this out and it looks adorable. It’s definitely recommended. (: Click on the photos to see each step.

Lifehacks: 10 Tips To Make Life Easier

1. Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone & iPod
 in a bowl - the concave shape amplifies the music.
2. Bake cupcakes directly in ice-cream cones, so
 much more fun and easier to eat.
3. Freeze Aloe Vera in ice-cube trays for soothing
 sunburn relief.
4. Stop cut apples browning in your child’s lunch box
 by securing with a rubber band.
5. Turn your muffin pan upside down, bake cookie-dough
 over the top and you have cookie bowls for ice-cream.
6. Store bed linen sets
 inside one of their own pillowcases mean no more hunting through piles for a match.
7. Pack shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty
 soles rubbing on your clothes - you can find them for free in just about every hotel.
8. Baby powder
 gets sand off your skin easily - add it to your beach bag for a quick clean up!
9. Find tiny lost items like earrings by putting a
 stocking over the vacuum hose.
10. Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting
 crosses into a box lid.
    
    SO AWESOME
