Good Evening my blogger friends.... I've been saving toliet paper rolls for the last month.... and who would of thought that such a useless piece of cardboard, could be a sweet blessing for someone to smile and make their day....I'm always trying to be creative and come up with something, when friends share their thoughts with me.... and I just couldn't help myself and have to share the cutest, sweetest, little Christmas gift. This is the easiest, really inexpensive and yet everyone that I've ever given these too loved them... they are great little gifts for teachers, co-workers, students, small groups to make and give....
so here's my tutorial for making these sweet little cuties.
What really made me think about making a bunch of these, was a post on Facebook that said, when writing out your Christmas cards, to write an extra one out for
A "Recovering Soldier" and mail it to the "Walter Reed Hospital" in Washington DC...
and my thoughts were, how cool this would be to make bunches and bunches of these and send to them...
so if anyone wants to help, let me know and we'll put a box of them together and ship them to Washington....
Ok so here we go....
Supplies:
1 yrd of ribbon, cut in half (18" ea.)
8-10 pieces of candy
1 empty toliet paper roll
scotch tape
8 x 12 piece of wrapping paper (its usually about the sz of the pieces I throw away lol)
Next fill the roll with the candy....
Place a piece of tape across the opening of each end... to hold the candy in place.
Next wrap and tape the roll with your favorite wrapping paper....
Next twist both ends...and then tie the ribbon around each end... all done... add a tag and its ready....
It's just a perfect little gift for anyone... while I mentioned our soldiers, this can be done for any special group... for nursing home recipients, patients in the hospital, especially little children.... you name your cause....
You could even stuff it with something really expensive.... hint, hint, hint.. lol
I bet the next time you empty a roll of toliet paper, you'll think of this little project...
Remember to be creative in some special way everyday....

Have a Blessed Evening...
