This image is a beautiful piece of Faux Metal Wall Art from Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom. Isn't it stunning? I found it even more beautiful when I found out what this piece of art is made from. Believe it or not, it is made out of toilet paper rolls. Isn't that incredible. I just have to try it. Not only does it look nice but it is so cheap to make. Just save all your empty toilet paper rolls. A little folding, cutting with a utility knife, spraying a faux metal paint, and spray on a sealant and you have a piece of art to hang on your wall. The possibillites, once you learn how to do it, can be endless. What do you this about this craft.

This is beautiful. You could not believe it, but I saved a full bag of paper rolls because I saw on YouTube this kind of craft and I plan to make a try.

@HazySue I will, I hope to have some spare time soon, at the end of summer. Until I have to take care of the garden the time is limited.

It's neat, just not my kind of craft. I don't have time lately for any crafts aside from the one I do, and I barely have enough time for that !

@xstitcher I know what you mean. Now that I am retired though I have more time to try new things.

@Juliacv I don't know but I imagine you can keep it around for some period of time if you place it where you want it and leave it alone.

@epiffanie isn't it. What is nice is that there are so many designs you can make, your imagination is your only limitation.

You're kidding me! Toilet paper rolls, wow! I never would have recognized it. That's awesome. I'm too clumsy to be very crafty. I'm working on apaint by number and even having trouble with that, lol. Maybe I should just make "modern" art, nobody will know I was clumsy! Have fun with this!

@CinnamonGrl Believe it or not it is toilet paper rolls. I suspect that some of the modern art out there is a dab and a swish.

That's so clever. I can't quite see how you go from toilet rolls to that! I like crafts but I think this might be a bit complicated for me. It's inspired me to do some kind of wall art though.

@5thHouse I have read directions carefully and it doesn't sound too complicated. I am glad I have inspired you to do a wall craft.
