2. Take the amount of glue that is required to complete the job at this stage
3. It is necessary to apply the glue in an even thin layer
4. Try not to get the glue on your clothes, face, or especially your eyes.
5. After work, close the glue tightly and put it away
6. Wash your hands and workplace with soap

Let's start creating the main background of the picture; to do this, tear off a piece from a roll of toilet paper equal to the width of the cardboard + 3 - 4 cm. Coat the cardboard with glue and glue the paper, forming arbitrary folds.

We tear off the next piece and glue it under the first piece, overlapping it by 3-5 mm on the first one.

We coat the joints of the paper strips with glue.

Cover all the cardboard and let it dry.

Using a pencil or graphite, we draw a sketch of the painting on the main background. Since spring has come and nature is blooming in all its glory, we draw the sun, clouds, a hill, a river with pebbles, a tree with foliage and flowers.

Pour glue into a container (mine is a bowl) and dilute it with a little water (since the main background and the mass are the same color, I added a little gouache to the water so that the differences can be seen in the photo),

Tear the paper finely and soak it

and lay out the sun and clouds from the mass that we crush in our hands. Smooth the laid out mass with your finger so that the surface becomes smooth.

Let's mark the hill: glue the paper and drape the folds with your fingers.

We denote the water by horizontal folds.

We are starting to lay out the trees. We tear off a piece of paper, wet our fingers with glue and twist the flagella. They must be completely saturated with glue. We lay out the trunk from thick strands, thin strands will go on the branches.

We lay out the bushes in thin flagella.
We lay out the stones from a mass that we crumple in our hands using paper and glue; there is no need to smooth the surface, you can press with your finger and create a hole in the stone.

Now we lay out flowers and foliage from the soaked paper. To do this, we roll small balls and, having given them a shape, place them on our sketch.

Let's make thin flagella and twist them into spirals - this is the middle of the flower.

After all the layers have been laid, it is necessary to dry the painting.

Next, we take paints and start coloring. It's spring, which means our colors are bright: yellow sun, green grass and foliage, blue sky, blue river. First we paint with darker colors: orange around the sun, then yellow the sun, applying strokes and orange color.

We paint the sky dark blue (mix blue and Blue colour a) then we work in contrast, apply blue and light blue colors to the folds (mix blue and white colors).

The main background of the clouds is blue, so we brighten the sky around them with light blue and white.

We continue: the trees are brown, the stones are dark gray, the bushes are green, but first we paint the hill aqua blue and apply a few strokes to the bottom of the blue sky so that the horizon does not stand out, but smoothly transitions from the sky to the grass.

Green we paint over the folds on the hill, bushes, and leaves on the tree, you can add a little along the bottom of the horizon.

We paint the tree light brown, brown bottom of the hill.

Now we paint only the convex areas on the tree and the hill with dark brown color. We make a few strokes on the grass.

We color the water in the river blue.

Then we paint the convex places with dark blue color,

and apply blue color under the folds.

Apply light blue or white to the folds.

We paint the center of the flower with yellow, to match the sun.

We paint the flowers dark pink, and apply a light pink color to the middle of the petal.

We paint the stones with dark gray color,

Then we apply grey colour.

Let it dry.
After the paint has dried, coat it with varnish. We put it in a frame and admire our suddenly discovered talent for painting!

Crafts made from toilet paper can become an original toy or a necessary household item. You can make real works of art from this accessible material by showing your imagination and applying your abilities. Rollers from rolls, which are considered garbage, but in fact can still serve the master, become an excellent craft material. Joint creativity between parents and children is important stage education and instills an aesthetic perception, and a roll of toilet paper is a material that, due to its versatility and low cost, is available to everyone.

Features of the material

Toilet paper is soft and loose in structure, which makes it easy to impregnate it with paint or glue, or dissolve it in water to obtain a plastic mass. Small corrugation adds decorativeness to crafts.

Also of interest are the rollers (bushings) on which the rolls are wound.

What trends in DIY crafts are most in demand? In its flat version, toilet paper can be used for decorating walls, creating paintings, decoupage, and various applications. The softness of the structure makes it possible to produce volumetric models. One of the most common methods is papier-mâché and modeling. Volumetric applications look beautiful. Bouquets made from toilet paper look natural.

Attention! The main advantages of such crafts are the simplicity and speed of production, as well as the availability of raw materials.

You can use both white toilet paper and rolls of different colors. The material is combined with cardboard, plasticine, fabric, plastic. You will need PVA glue, paints (watercolor, gouache, acrylic paints), felt-tip pens, pencils. The main tools are scissors, brushes for glue and paints. A stapler that can be used to fasten paper elements will make your work easier. When working with rollers, a knife, jigsaw or hacksaw will come in handy.

Papier-mâché - a technique for making crafts

Papier-mâché is a technique that allows you to create beautiful three-dimensional figures, and toilet paper, combined with glue and binders, becomes a material for sculpting. There are several ways:

1. Maching (multilayer papier-mâché). This is a method of making crafts from toilet paper and PVA glue. The paper is torn into small pieces, which are laid on the surface of a vase, plate or figure made of plasticine in layers and coated with glue.
2. Preparation of plastic mass. The paper is fibered or dissolved and then mixed with glue to form a thick, monolithic mass similar to plasticine. You can add putty or alabaster to this mixture for strength. Any figures are created from it that retain their shape after drying.
3. Rough mass. Toilet paper is crumpled and soaked in paste, and it turns out to be an excellent material for modeling.

Crafts from papier-mâché can be made in a thin-walled or solid (monolithic) version. In the first case, plates, cups, vases, and masks are created. Dishes can be made by mashing or from plastic mass. To do this, several layers of paper soaked in glue are placed on the bowl. After hardening, the workpiece is removed from the base, painted, and varnished. African-style masks are impressive, which are made by applying a plastic mass to a suitable blank and then shaping the facial elements.

Creating monolithic figures is similar to modeling from plasticine. The main advantage of papier-mâché is its plasticity before hardening and strength. This material can be used to make toys and dolls of varying complexity and sizes.

Paper crafts

You can make a variety paper crafts. You might want to think about making a rose out of toilet paper. To do this, you need to unwind paper pieces 40-45 cm long from the roll. Then they are bent in half in the longitudinal direction. One of the halves is bent to the side and down, and then again, but towards the second half. A piece of paper is crumpled to form the core of the flower. The prepared strips are twisted into a spiral around the core, forming a rosette. The outer petals are bent to the side to add splendor. The flower is secured at the bottom with glue, tape or a stapler.

Toilet paper is easily saturated with liquid, so it is enough to dilute the pigment of the desired color in water and dip the rose into it for coloring. You can highlight certain elements (for example, the edge of a petal) with a more saturated color using a brush. The stem is formed from thin wire wrapped in green corrugated paper, artificial leaves are attached to it.

Using a similar technology you can do volumetric applique from flowers. In this case, the height of the flower cup is much lower, so the paper roll is first cut in half. The core is also formed from a ball of paper and then cut along the center line. To prevent it from falling apart when cutting, it can be pre-coated with glue at the top and bottom points. Otherwise, the technology is similar to making a three-dimensional rose. The flower is attached to a plane (cardboard) or directly to the wall using double sided tape. Green leaves are glued between the flowers, and the branches are drawn with a felt-tip pen.

Decoupage from toilet paper is also popular. Using this technique you can make a vase from a glass or plastic bottle:

1. The paper is cut into strips and painted in various colors (you can use colored toilet paper).
2. The surface of the container is wrapped in strips, and a design is applied using appliqué.
3. The vase is varnished.

Using center bushings

A cardboard sleeve can be an excellent craft material. Its popularity is due to its cylindrical shape and sufficient strength, as well as suitable dimensions.

This cardboard cylinder is easy to cut in all directions and paints well. When creating crafts, it can be covered with paper or fabric. It goes well with other materials.

Kids toys

Simple but bright and original toys- this is the first thing a child wants to make from toilet paper rolls. There are many options for such crafts:

1. Zoo. You can make animal figures from the bushings. It is important to choose the right color: orange for a fox, gray for a hare, multi-colored for a parrot, etc. The necessary additional details are cut out from thick colored paper - ears, paws, wings. The tail can be made of wire or cord. The muzzle is drawn directly on the roller or glued in the form of an applique. You can use a ready-made face cut out from a magazine. For design, felt-tip pens and gouache are used.
2. Composite animals. More complex figures can be made from several rollers and inserts of other available materials. For example, a kind dog is obtained if its head is made from a small piece of bushing and secured to a threaded rod. This mount allows you to turn your head in different directions. It is better to do the animal in a lying position, i.e. glue the paws along the body from a long roller. The color must match the breed of the dog. Another option is to position the body vertically and attach a ball (for example, made of foam) on top. The head of the animal is drawn on it. A simpler method is to make a slot in the upper part of the body, into which a head cut out of thick cardboard is attached. In this case, the drawing should be on both sides.
3. Puppet show. The characters in a home puppet theater could well be dolls made from toilet paper rolls. The bushings are painted and the necessary parts are attached. The man's hair can be made from thread or paper strips. The arms and legs are made of thick cardboard. When movably connected to the body, the figurine can be controlled using threads. A wooden rod must be inserted from the bottom of the roller, which allows you to hold the figure at the desired height.
4. A cylindrical bushing is a ready-made body for a racing car. From above you need to carefully cut out an ellipse-shaped window with a knife. A seat and steering wheel are installed inside. You can plant a small Lego man. Wheels are cut from similar cardboard sleeve and are fixed to the body. The front end of the roller is covered with a cardboard round on which the original radiator is drawn. An aerodynamic wing can be attached above the “car”.

Practical crafts

You can make crafts from toilet paper rolls that will be useful in Everyday life. One of the common areas is office organizers. Parts are assembled from rollers different lengths, which are fixed vertically on a rigid base made of thick cardboard, plywood or plastic. The base, at the author's discretion, has a round or rectangular shape.

For small items and placing pens or pencils lying in the organizer, trays are installed. They are made by cutting a roller in half lengthwise. These elements are mounted on the base in a horizontal position.

Idea! You can decorate the stand with colored paper, apply paint and varnish.

If a child is passionate about radio engineering and electronics, then he always has a lot of different wires that constantly get mixed up and interfere with work. You can build a kind of storage from toilet paper rolls. This is the same organizer in which the cells (bushings) are arranged horizontally, close to each other.
