TP Roll Thistle Ornament Tutorial in the Shop!

November 5, 2011 by Michele

 

Happy Saturday! I’m happy to report that the TP Roll Thistle Ornament PDF Tutorial is now available in my shop. This little guy has been in the works for eons. See, I conceived of him last summer as part of the Feast of the Flower series, and then it took me a while to get my act together and make up the PDF tutorial. Good things take time I figure…

The design has been flipped on its head, and updated with gorgeous colour and detailed step-by-step photo instructions. In terms of supplies, all you will need to make this recycled ornament are toilet paper rolls, paint and paint brush, glue, scissors, an Exacto knife, some string, a ruler and pencil. That’s it! Oh, and um yes, you will also need to set aside a little time to focus on creating it; some skill is necessary to achieve the thistle effect. In addition, please note that this is NOT a craft for young children. Exacto knives and kids do not mix.

 

The 8-page TP Roll Thistle Ornament PDF Tutorial is hanging happily in my my wee shop!Have a delightful weekend. I will be with you again on Tuesday.

    Now THIS is what top notch recycling looks like! You have created something of lasting quality and beauty. Very refreshing!

    I am not taking on more than I already have for the Holidays, but definitely ordering the tutorial right after the holidays. It is on my calendar of things to do and in my bookmark file of thing I want!

    Fantastic design engineering.
