Paper Towel Tube Holders

The tubes are not only very simple to make, but are a fantastic substitute for gift wrapping and gift bags!

Here's what you'll need to make Paper Towel Holders:

the cardboard tube from inside a paper towel
paint
glitter
markers
crayons
construction paper

Directions:

Decorate the paper towel tube, using the construction paper, paint, markers etc. The tube can be decorated however your child likes, but a really nice touch is to put the name of the person the gift is intended for along the side of the tube, then decorate THAT!

This then becomes a wonderful, personalized carrying tube, into which your kids can place their rolled up paintings - and if they don't want to give them as gifts, the holder is a good way to keep their artwork neat and organized in the bedroom!
