1. Prepare materials First, you need to prepare the required materials. A hollow drum, about 23 cm long and 5 cm in diameter. It can be found in some discarded medical equipment or bicycle handlebars. In addition, we need some flannel with proper thickness, which can be cut from old towels or sweaters. The size is about 6 cm more than the circumference of the drum, and the hem is 1-2 cm.
2. After cutting the cloth, cut the cloth into long strips according to the circumference of the drum and sew it into a circle with a needle and thread. Make sure the seams are not exposed. You can turn the bottom upside down and sew some lines.
3. Paste the flannel, and paste the circular cloth on the roller. You can use simple homemade glue. The function of the glue solution is to mix 1 part wood flour glue and 3 parts water evenly, and then stir until there are no particles. When applying glue, make sure to avoid glue saturation. Pull up the flannel gradually until it goes around the whole circumference of the drum. Trim the excess cloth with scissors.
4. When the tools are perfect and dry, you can use the wall roller. But if you want to add some details and details to the top of the drum, you can decorate the handle of the drum with various things, such as paper clips, plastic pipes or non-slip sleeves, to increase the grip and comfort.
5. Precautions: The finished wall roller sometimes uses different types of wallpaper adhesives, so there is a risk of leakage and penetration of cloth. In order to avoid this situation, a layer of transparent glue can be coated on the roller to prevent the glue from leaking from the flannel.
Be sure to pay attention to safety when making wall rollers to avoid common injuries such as cutting fingers. You'd better wear gloves all the time. Self-made wall rollers can make DIY wallpaper construction and painting more convenient and efficient. You can freely choose materials and styles according to your own preferences to meet different types of decoration needs.
