    I was so excited when I saw the thumb nail for this video because I thought you made your rollers just like me. Turns out not quite. I use toilet and paper towel rolls. But otherwise pretty much the same. As tp rolls have a slightly wider diameter, I just made a bumper for my roller out of fun foam.
    I love using die cuts for these rollers. I really like using the fall out pieces to make patterns. Here’s the tip I use to get evenly dispersed patterns. I measure the circumference and length of the roll and then draw out the same size rectangle on graph paper. Then I use die cuts on the graph paper to get the spacing right.
    I used to have to actually use die cuts on the graph paper but I’ve gotten to the point that I can draw sketches. I also tape the graph paper to a tube so I can recreate the design on a different tube. Come to think of it though, I could just glue the graph paper sketch to the toilet roll and then glue foam on top of the graph paper.
    I hadn’t thought of this till now 😅This method might be better since I’d use matte medium to do this which means I’d have a layer of acrylic on the roll from the beginning. Like paper die cuts, the cardboard tubes are actually strengthened by acrylic paint.

    These turned out so well. I had my doubts, because when I have used patterned rollers I bought from the craft store I haven't gotten the effect I wanted. I think the key with these must be how large they are. thanks
