Christmas Wrapping Paper Inner Tubes

Lillibet_2

Wedge a torch in the end so that it shines through the other end, use the torch handle as the handle & you have a light saber:D

i use my inner tubes from wrapping paper to wrap up those pressys that need protecting or that are difficult to wrap

I have some serviette rings (bought from church fete) that are made from cut up cardboard tubes, covered with red and green felt with gold trimmings stuck on, they look quite good though.

I use these tubes to wrap odd pieces of wrapping paper around, just put an elastic band over top to stop them falling off. It keeps the paper neat.

If they are the hard tubes, we give ours to the dog to play with. Keeps her amused for ages.

You could use them for sending pictures, documents that you don't want to fold through the mail. Seal the ends up with tape.

use them to plant seedlings in, cut into shorter lengths of course.

Stitched into the end of a 2 metre piece of felt they make excellent Jigrolls

I know I am sad having started wrapping already, but I am beginning to build up rather a large quantity of these things.

Anyone have any ideas as to what to do with them? I have a 3 year old daughter who loves cutting/glue etc., but my creative brain has abandoned me.

If you really want to do a good turn with them take them to your nearest infantschool or nursery thay will always find them useful. Anything I can't think of a use for re craftworks I drop them in the local playschool there is always asomeone there who can think of uses for the children to play with. I also take my egg cartons in there as well.
