Trim the TP/paper towel tubes to different heights to add interest.

Paint the plaque. Choose colors that coordinate with your paper; paint the whole plaque and then let dry.

And then proceed to decoupage your compartments with paper and Mod Podge. Then give it a top coat.

Glue each compartment down to the plaque using craft glue.
