DIY Art Gallery @ Home

Had been thinking to redecorate the wall in my room for quite some time and finally i did it =)

It is surprisingly easy but it's not entirely completed yet. Anyway, the materials i used including toilet rolls, colour papers and 3 artwork i painted recently.

So first is to cut the toilet roll. I've divided one roll into 4 parts. It is not necessary to actually measure and make sure they are in equal proportion. Then i glue them onto the colour papers. I chose 4 colours which are pink, orange, blue and green. Find it more interesting to do with wide range of colour to make the colour block effect.

 Then is to choose the colour you want for the toilet roll. Ideally white would be perfect but because i dun wanna waste my white paint so i chose to mix dark brown and black to create a modern wooden feel.

For the first try, i glue the toilet roll onto the colour paper and cut out the shape before i paint them. However, after trying different approach, i find it easier to actually paint the toilet roll first before get them glued to the base.

If you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can paint the outer layer/ inner layer first, and wait for it to dry before u apply the other side. It consumes more time but your hands will be cleaner haha.

This would be how it looks when the work is finished. By the way, that's my new nail art! =)

Then, i use blue tag to stick my painting to the wall before sticking the toilet roll art to the wall.

This is one of the art piece i drew and the toilet rolls there to sort of secure the painting. Another plus bonus is that the toilet roll can be used as a mini compartment to put some light-weighed ornaments.

The full wall looks like this =)

Some people will use shoe boxes to decorate the wall and put some light-weighed ornaments inside.

My next target is to get some vinyl contact paper or chalkboard contact paper and stick a tree or something on the wall =)
