Thought I'd be able to fit him in a gravy granule tub but he's too big - any ideas what I can put him in ? He needs a home of some sort

Would he fit into kitchen towel tube or is it that he is wider than the width.
Was thinking you could cover the tube with some gift wrap, material or brown kraft paper.

How about making him a little drawstring bag? That's what I intend to do (when I ever get round to making any :rolleyes:)

Thats a good idea............can sew that by hand easy enough (I think)
He will fit in the twiglet tube (just tried it) but that'll take up a lot of room and I normally send my son a shoe box of odds and ends:j

These are simple string and glue wrapped around slightly bloown balloons and look cute as christmas baubles http://www.marthastewart.com/article/snowy-ornaments
This is the same craft but a bunny! http://abcteach.com/free/c/craft_bunnystringart.pdf
