OMGosh so LOVE this. I can't find your tutorial though I follow the links but they all lead me to the magazine article which appears to be no longer there. I tried numerous searches. Is this still available somewhere?

Hi Karen- The tutorial of this project is in the current issue of Crafts n' Things Magazine. You can find it at your local craft store. The patterns are located on their website at http://www.craftsnthings.com/magazines. I will be able to add the tutorial back to my website at the end of August. Hope that helps! Suzy

I can help! 1) Cut 16 (3/8" wide) balsa wood into 10" lengths. Glue to form 4 frames. (2) Cut paper towel tubes lengthwise to form straight, long, lengths; flatten. Measure and cut into 3/8"-wide lengths. Same with toilet paper but cut width-wise along tube, to keep curl. (3) Go to craftsnthings.com > Magazines>Full-Size Patterns>August. Print. Choose a pattern. Cut *straight* strips to proper lengths and adhere in place. (4) Curl toilet paper tubes with a dowel, pencil, etc. Adhere in place. (5) After design dries, apply Rustoleum Texturized Metallic (spray) paint. Dry and reapply as needed.
