Today is a set of firsts. This is the first time I have used toilet paper rolls in art, the first time I have made art tags and the first time I have made a slideshow set to music! This project is for an art swap in one of my online groups. The color theme was Black/Red/White/Cream. We each have to make 6 tubes and in return we will get 6 tubes back. You then bind them together with a ring and voila, you have a photo/journal album that is just too cute! Most of the photo's I've used are old family photos, however, almost every photo is removable so the recipient can replace with photo's of their choice. Having never done anything like this before I hope I did it justice! Enjoy!
I think what you made looks really great--but I'm still not getting the toilet paper roll...
ReplyDeleteLOL! I thought I was the last one on earth to have not heard of it! The toilet paper rolls are flattened and then covered in paper. The tags slip inside them on the right side of the roll and the binder holes go on the left side, so it make a little book.

ReplyDeleteI'm impressed on all three counts of firsts! Thanks for sharing them with us. I'm not so sold on the TP rolls either, but at least there is no shortage if I ever get the urge. LOL Lori at Art Camp for Women
