Unexpected Material Wall Decor

I've been in the process of decorating our first home. It's been a fun but daunting task when it comes to finding something I love but with a price tag I wasn't willing to pay...So... I had to get creative and do things DIY style, but I've loved how things worked out.

One day while eating breakfast, I noticed how empty the top of my kitchen cabinets looked. I knew I had to do something about that.

I of course googled "decor for the top of kitchen cabinets" and hit images. I didn't find exactly what I wanted, although found great ideas. I got a little bit more specific, hoping I would find my inspiration. I changed my search to "kitchen decor". I finally found this picture

I love the plates over the stove and thought that would be perfect for my empty space over my cabinets. Unfortunately I couldn't find cute plates that I loved with the price tag I was willing to pay for... So I thought "what can I do with things I already have"
I was trying to find a cute project to do with my daughter using paper towels/toilet paper rolls...So I googled again.

I came across this CUTE idea using toilet paper rolls.

Perfect! So I started saving my toilet/paper towel rolls.

I also came across this picture that I loved.

Okay, so I now have my inspiration...So FINALLY, here's what I came up with....

I used toilet/paper towel rolls, glue gun and red spray paint for this one

I cut the tubes into 1 in circles, pinched them to make them form a petal. I then hot glued them together in a circular form.
For this one, I used vertical blind panels (only because I had some laying around from breaking off), hot glue, and red spray paint.

I made a flower pedal template, traced it on the material, hot glue them together, then spray paint it...
(The baskets were bought at the dollor tree and spray painted red as well).
