St. Patty's Themed Toilet Paper Tube

Get an Empty TP Tube (the center tube the paper is wrapped around). Some swappers cut a paper towel tube in half, which is ok too. Cut two circles of cardboard or cardstock to cover the ends. Tape one end closed. Now stuff the tube with with random craft or non-craft Saint Patrick’s themed goodies. Then decorate the tube & mail it to your partner. If your post office will not except as in for mailing you may put the tube in an envelope.

•Tea bags, Single serve hot chocolate, coffee, drink mixes (kind you add to bottled water) •Recipes •Address labels •Crafting how to DIY (templates, directions, etc.) •Brads, eyelets, ribbon, Glue dots •Scrapbook paper and/or stickers can be rolled to fit in the tube. •Small sewing notions (seam rippers, buttons, thread, etc.) •Small hard candies or gum •Tealite candles •Key chains, jewelry or jewelry making supplies •Mini markers, pencils, pens, Postage stamps, bookmarks or other stationary items •Small paper punches or stamps or other small embellishments •Something handmade

The possibilities are endless! Be creative, challenge yourself & have a blast!

Checking your partners profile is great, but not required. Be sure to include a tiny note or business card that has the swap name and your username on it so they know where it came from. Include only things you would like to receive, no trash!

Now seal up the other end of the tube. Decorate & address the outside. I have found it easier to decorate after it is full; it holds its shape better. To be sure this arrives in one piece, tube must be packed tight so it will not squish.

This is an "International" Swap, so be aware of shipping costs.Yes the PO accepts it or you can put the completed, filled roll in a small padded envie if your PO insists they can't. You might call ahead and ask to save time & frustration. A customs form can be wrapped around tube or attached to an envie.

Any questions you can list them in the comments or PM me. Happy Swapping, see you at the mailbox, nlgrudis
