trendy chic recycle week! day #3 toilet roll cuff bracelet

isnt this so cute!?!  i LOVE it soooo much!!!  when i first had the idea i didn't think that it would turn out this

cute!!  i love the colors i used!  i would have never put yellow and pink together before but i think it looks really good!  who would have thought that a piece of trash could be so chic?

 

 you will need: scissors, some fabric, book pages, some bling! (like feathers and pearls), a toilet paper roll, mod podge, and a hot glue gun (not shown)

 

 first you will need to get out your handy dandy...scissors!  cut your toilet paper roll in half so that it is still a full circle, but just shorter (hamburger style).  then cut the edges of the toilet paper roll so that they are curved just like the picture!  i found that the white rolls are stronger than the brown ones so i used a white one...i have a HUGE collection of these!  i have been accumulating them for a couple of months!! haha.  every time one runs out of toilet paper somebody adds it to the collection cause i have let everybody know that i am collecting them!

 

the words didn't focus very well, but you could probably tell that this is where i mod podged the book page onto the toilet paper roll.  all i did was tear out a page from a book and unroll the toilet paper roll so that it was flat.  then i traced it and cut it out.  after it was cut out i mod podged it!  after it was all done drying i started decorating it.  for the flowers all i did was cut out little circles and folded them twice so that they would look like a pie shape then i hot glued the tip and stuck it on!  i decorated this cuff with feathers, pearls, and fabric.  then i cut a strip of fabric out and hot glued the ends of it to the ends of the cuff so that it would be a tie.  the toilet paper roll is kinda skinny, so it doesn't reach all the way around my wrist.  this is why i needed a tie.  i hope you enjoyed this post!  and thanks for visiting my blog :)
