Halloween Monster Candy Tube Craft
This spooky little Halloween craft is so easy and fun to make! Kid's would have a blast with these, and it's a great way to re-purpose those paper product rolls you have laying around! You can also stuff these little monsters with treats or little trinkets. It's a fun way to give something a little extra for all the trick-or-treaters, or would make a great party favor for the kiddos! Check out how to make these little candy tubes...
First just gather up however many tubes you are wanting to make.
Paint them any colors you would like. I stuck to classic Halloween colors for mine. The paint won't make the paper soggy either, so they should hold up nicely to being stuffed with all kinds of fun goodies.
Once the paint has dried, add some googly eyes and a mouth. I used a Sharpie to draw a mouth then painted over that with some black paint. I don't trust my free hand painting skills! Ha! You could also cut some teeth out of white paper and glue that on as the mouth as well.
Fill little baggies with candy and/or little trinkets. You could put anything you wanted that would fit inside the tube!
Stuff the baggies inside your tubes and tie them off with strips of tulle. Fluff up the ends of the tulle to give your little monster some more character!
And that's it! This really is a quick and easy Halloween craft. Any kid would just love receiving or making one of these this season!

I do like this idea and plan to use it for Christmas.
One word of caution, those glued on googly eyes would not be safe with small children.
