These were so much fun to make. We took the cardboard tube from a finished roll of paper towels and cut it into sections. Then we painted the inside of each section very carefully with acrylic paint and a high gloss coating. Once it was dry, we carefully wrapped slices of high saturation digital printer proofing sheets around each ring using decoupage techniques and lots and lots of glue. Then we gave the whole thing a thick coat of high gloss acrylic that we carefully textured with a sponge before it dried.
The finished product is surprisingly sturdy and very pretty. We even like how one of the rings still has the black-and-white-checked border from the printing sheet. So cute!
