Loo Rolls with a purpose!

Its Birthday Blog Bash time :)
Happy Birthday to Rebekah, thank you for letting be part of your blog hop :)

I got some new (and my very first) set of aqua promarkers this week and they were just lying around my desk whilst trying to figure out how to work them! lol

Strangely I had some empty loo rolls on my desk which were destined for another project but this one came to mind straight away

Loo Rolls with a purpose!
(couldnt think of a better title)

Materials Required

3 x loo/kitchen rolls

cardstock

patterned paper

embellishments

adhesives (I used double sided sticky tape, high tack tape and hot glue gun)

What to do

1) Flatten loo/kitchen rolls
2) Adhere double sided sticky tape to the rolls

3) Wrap your patterned paper around the rolls (I used some 6x6 papers I had) trim off excess edges if needed. Dont worry if the papers dont meet (like mine didnt) because they will be going on the inside so wont be seen

4) I used high tack tape for the strength down the edges (of the non meeting paper side lol) and stuck all the rolls together

5) I used my hot glue gun to add drops of glue to the bottom middle of the rolls so it adhered to the cardstock
6) Embellish as required and volia

This project worked out well because the blending pen you get with the set sits in the middle of the rolls and four promarkers fit in each roll (no need to decorate the inside as these wont be seen when full)

Another quick and easy project thats a pretty desk caddy and recycling products too :)
