Cardboard rolls are an excellent craft material and therefore far too good for the waste paper bin. Because these rolls can be quickly transformed into effective DIY decorations. Here you can find out how to make flowers in just a few steps.
What you need for this:
- Several cardboard rolls
- Brushes
- Watercolours
- Scissors
- Twine
- Hot glue
- Wooden beads
1. colour the rings:
Paint the cardboard rings with bright colours. Let your imagination run wild and design your flowers to suit your taste. Whether pastel-coloured tulips or vibrant sunflowers - there are no limits to your creativity.
2. cut the cardboard rolls:
Once the cardboard rolls have dried, cut them into even rings, e.g. 1 cm. Depending on the desired size of your flower pendants, you can cut the rings larger or smaller.
3. assemble the flowers:
Place the cut rings on top of each other and fasten them together in the centre. The best way to do this is to simply glue them together with a hot glue gun. Alternatively, the flower can also be held together by pulling a string or ribbon through it.
4 Embellish the flower:
Add the finishing touch to your homemade flower pendants by gluing a wooden bead in the centre of the flower!
5. Hang up and enjoy:
Once the flower pendants are assembled, you can hang them on a branch, string or other suitable place. Admire your home-made spring decoration and enjoy the flowery atmosphere in your home!

Self-sufficiency: "The own garden is not the essential!"
Katharina Sützl sees self-sufficiency as a comprehensive concept that includes one's own garden as well as one's own body and a functioning network. When she started baking bread in 2008, she had no idea that ten years later she would be offering various courses on bread baking, self-sufficiency and other topics. The Salzburg native always emphasises the appreciation of nature and food and gives practical tips on how self-sufficiency can succeed.
