Hello, again

Hi, I'm finally back WITH a project for you to try! I f you have been reading some of my older posts you will know that today is the start of the project a day campaign! If you'd like to get involved view the campaign page.

Now on with the project!



This is an easy and very basic project but gives you a great way to store your bracelets without just throwing them in your draw!

What you will need

toilet roll tube
card or paper
glue, I use a glue tape pen for simplicity

These are all illustrated below, as well as the finished product!



Now as I said this project is super simple and so only requires three steps! Yes, three steps!

So here we go

Step 1  Measure the length of your toilet roll tube, mine was 10.5cm.

Step 2  Cut the card to the same width as the length of your toilet roll tube. ( cut it so that it is wide enough to cover your tube ) Don't worry about the length of the card/paper.


Step 3  Add some glue to the card/paper and stick it onto the tube, smooth it down as you wrap the card/paper around the tube, if there is any excess card/paper overlap it. As you can see from the images above I overlapped mine slightly on the edge, this ensured that the tube edge was well hidden!

Another variation

You could stick a circle onto the base of the decorated tube and stand it up, it could then be used to hold your bracelets on the outside and pens on the inside!

Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project, as you can guess I'll be back with another project tomorrow! Bye for now!
