Annie Thornton If you click "More Info" there is a link directly to the tutorial from Growing Up Creative in an image tag, because I believe that is where the Zerbey's inspiration stemmed from. I love how creative and resourceful some people are with their home decor.

lauren You can spray semi-gloss polyurethane cardboard to make it water resistant. The cardboard becomes darker than the unprotected image above... but it is a good solution if you want keep "the natural look/integrity of cardboard exposed" and do not want it to deteriorate quickly.
I would suggest using polyutherane even on areas you have spray painted, especially if it is matte. I'll admit I am not a totally fan of glossy things, but it is the best protection.
I design weather resistant handcrafted mailing parcels in my spare and I know from experience.

The couple created a leaf-like installation on one wall out of toilet paper rolls.
added by Lily Gahagan to Idea of the Week: Clever DIY Wall Art
That's right, it's toilet paper rolls! This project looks super-simple to do, and as long as you have glue on hand, it won't cost you a thing. You can find the instructions for making your own at Growing Up Creative. See more of Kyle and Lauren's home here.

added by Lily Gahagan to Spruce Up the House With 50 Clever DIY Ideas
Lauren and Kyle Zerbey made a leaf-like sculpture in their bathroom out of recycled toilet paper rolls. You can do the same with this tutorial from Growing Up Creative.

Toilet paper itself may not be elegant, but the empty cardboard rolls are, when turned into art by clever homeowners.
added by Cathy Lara to Cardboard Furniture Shows Flat-Out Style
Get crafty with cardboard shapes. This gorgeous piece of wall art is made of the most unattractive of materials: toilet paper rolls. Architects Lauren and Kyle Zerbey used an online tutorial by DIY blogger Tali Buchler to craft this whimsical piece of wall art in their Seattle home; they colored the insides of a few pieces yellow to give splashes of citrine amid a sea of brown shapes. If you'd like to take a stab at making the wall art at home, protect the natural look of the exposed cardboard and make the art piece water resistant by spraying semigloss polyurethane on the cardboard.
added by Debra Prinzing to Garden Design Essentials: Shape and Mass
This leafy-style artwork is made from cardboard toilet paper tubes for an interior space. I added it to this ideabook, though, because it so nicely illustrates how interest and volume are created by repeating simple lines. The genius of this design is one strong, leaf-inspired form. Multiplied as a mass, it transforms into something suggestive of a verdant tree branch.
