Here is a fun, fast idea I want to share today. If you have a birthday or just want to give a little surprise this tiny sack will hold your small gift.
It is made from a toilet paper roll. Flatten the empty roll with a rolling pin or other heavy object to get really flat folds. I adhered the ball fringe to one end and stapled it in several places on the edge. Cut paper to fit around the roll and lap over in the back (approximately 6" x 6". I used another strip of paper about 1" x 6" at the top to finish the top edge. It is cut with decorative scissors on one long edge. The other long edge is left straight to match up with the top edge of the tp roll.
Punch a small hole on each side where the fold of the t.p. roll. Thread wire into the two holes and twist the ends together. Decorate each side where the wire is with ribbons and tags. I printed each person's name on the top band. Now it is ready to fill with special items. I haven't decided what to put in them yet.
A small bouquet of flowers would be nice. A candy bar would fit in it or an assortment of candies like M&M's. Something long and skinny would fit. What would you fill one with?

Yay! It Fits!

Cute idea! You have the best whimsy fun projects and I bet Hannah loved getting a surprise from you.. I have the same scrap book paper too. Isn't this weather wonderful?
Really clever.

I only remembered Hannah's name... I came back because I want to amke these for my VT Ladies with a spring treat:)
That is the cutest thing! I think I'd put a purse hanger or hankerchief in it. Or even some fancy tea! The possibilities are endless. What a clever idea.
What a terrific idea! I am going to have to remember to save the roll next time it needs replacing. :)
