Rolled Magazine Art

Attention contemporary art fans, I've got just the DIY project. Rolled magazine art is a great and inexpensive way to add flare to your style. I was hooked on the technique after viewing a couple projects online. I believe in functionality, so I wanted to create something with purpose. That being said, what could be better than a vase? It holds flowers, candles, and endless amounts of knick knacks. This project was fairly inexpensive but somewhat time consuming. The creation itself looks awesome, but expect to work your fingers to the bone. The smartest way to complete this project is to coherence some  friends or family to help you. Would I do this project again? Absolutely! If you're interested in creating you're own, check out my tutorial below

Rolled Magazine Vase Tutorial

Items needed:
1. Glass Vase (square or round)
2. Magazines
3. Hot glue gun + glue sticks
4. Scissors

Instructions
Step 1. Rip out a magazine page and use the scissors to cut the page into 3 even strips
Step 2. Take one piece and fold it in half  (Repeat 2 more times to the same piece. Make sure to fold in the same direction as the first fold)
Step 3. Start at one end and tightly roll the piece of paper
Step 4. Once rolled, put a dab of glue on the end to hold it from coming apart
Step 5. Add a good amount of glue to the back of the rolled piece and place it on the vase
Step 6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the entire vase is covered.
