Some of us are lucky to have lots of little's in our life - whether it be grand babies, next door neighbors, or friends children.Here's a quick and inexpensive way to give each a little love so no one will be left out.
You'll need:
    Mod podge (glue)a brushempty toilet paper tubespretty paperribbons,bakers twine, jute (something to tie with)goodies to put insidetags
Grab a TP tube and apply glue from one end to the other
I happened to find red foil in my stash, that's what I used.I didn't bother to measure, I just eyeballed it.Start at one end of your paper that is cut straight, place it on top of where you applied the glue, press down.Apply more glue to the tube and roll until the entire tube is covered with your paper.Cut off excess.
You'll have covered tubes with extra paper on each end.Let them sit for a few minutes to dry.
Now you need to tie one end~What I did~I have both boys and girls to give to.I found red seam tape and red lace in my trims drawer.I used the lace to tie the ends for the girls and the solid seam tape to tie the boys.Why? the girls will vary from the boys and I didn't want to get them mixed up while filling and tying the other end.
The other end is kept open for now so it can be filledwith whatever goodies you decide.
Little toys, money, toy jewelry, and, of course, candy!
Start filling!I was actually surprised at how much these TP tubes could hold!
Once filled, tie the other end to coordinate with what you used on the opposite end.
You can decorate with stickers or embellish as you wish, which is all optional.
Of course, you can always add tags if they are for someone specific â™¥Quick, easy, economical little gifts that be personalized to fit any occasion.If you enjoyed this post, you may enjoy these.
