| Here's a fun little repurposed project you can do yourself. Using a simple cardboard tube from a paper towel roll, toilet paper roll or even gift wrap tube, simply wrap tube in paper and secure ends with ribbons or pipecleaners. Secure one end first and fill the open end with trinkets before closing completely. |
| Some items that fit in the tubes: * squinkies * stickers * bouncy balls * rubber stamps * matchbox cars * coins or paper money * beaded necklaces and bracelets * hair clips * mini "whirligig" helicopters * small animal toys * You can include sweets too, but this is a list of non-candy items that help keep the holidays healthy! |
Above: Traditional version with name tags. Right: Animal version. Simply pinch one end closed and staple shut, then fold the top of the tube in towards center - one "half" of the top will fold down and the other half will overlap the first fold. Push down and "ears" are created. Paint, and decorate! |
