Hey there! I’m Creative Carmella, and it’s great to be back here with another crafty project!
Today I am sharing a simple stamping technique that will give this $1 frame a whole new life… and guess what I am using for my stamp??
Yes… that’s a toilet paper roll! I love how easy it is to get this perfect circle pattern!
For this $1 picture frame makeover you will need just a few things : Small wooden frame, {you can find these at any craft store for $1}, two colors of acrylic craft paint, and an empty toilet paper roll.
I started by painting the entire frame in a cream colored paint. After it was dry, I started stamping…
I made sure to line up the circles in a level pattern….
When moving to the next row, I let the first stamp overhang on the edge to give the pattern a better look, and then I just kept stamping until it was all finished….
And that’s it! This is my favorite kind of craft, $1 and finished in under 10 minutes!
This little frame, just like all the bright, colorful things I make, was destined for my Nola’s bedroom. She is pretty creative too and wanted to make some artwork to match her new frame….
And here are the new decorations for her room!
This actually isn’t my first rodeo with toilet paper roll stamping, a few years ago I shared these stamped canvases on my blog and they are still one of the most viewed projects!
You can find the details on this project HERE on my blog.
Thanks so much for reading! I’ll be back again next month with another fun and simple craft for you to try, see you then!
I love how this turned out. I actually did something similar with a canvas and toilet paper rolls. Its amazing how great the circles turn out by just using a toilet paper roll.
When I saw this I immediately loved it! So easy and something fun for my daughter to try!! Thanks Carmella.
