During today’s After-School Crafts, we made some great gift boxes out of recycled materials. It was a lot of fun, and it’s really easy!
That’s a toilet paper tube, painted and wrapped with a bit of ribbon. Inside, you can hide a little gift: some candy, a small toy, or even a note.
To turn your tube into a box, simply bend the ends of the tube, making two flaps on each end. No cutting, no taping, no staples. Add a bit of ribbon to make sure the flaps don’t pop open.
If painting is messier than you like, you could glue some paper (wrapping paper, maybe!) around the tube before folding the ends over. Stickers are a nice touch, too.
Ta da! You have a beautiful gift box that you can use and reuse.
