We are into October! Just a few more weeks until Halloween! Do you know what that means? I have a few more weeks of Halloween projects to share with you on the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop!!
This week's project calls for another recycled household item - a toilet paper roll! I love using these because the cardboard is pretty strong and durable. Strong enough to hold things like candy!
Tutorial:
1. Cut the toilet paper roll to 3 1/2" wide.
2. Cover the roll with Designer Halloween paper using Multi-purpose Liquid glue..
3. Staple one end closed.
4. Punch a hole on each side about 1/2" down from the top.
5. Run a piece of 12" ribbon thru each hole and secure with a knot on the inside of the tube.
6. Emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the frame embossing folder. Cut around the outside of the frame as well as the inside of the frame.
7. Cut a strip of DSP measuring 1/2" x 2 1/2". Fold in half and adhere around the lower left corner of the frame.
8. Repeat the above step using a strip of DSP measuring 1/4" x 2".
9. Adhere the frame to the front of the tube using Stampin' Dimensionals.
10. Stamp (2) ghost images - one in Basic Black and one in Lucky Limeade. Cut the black image on the outside of the label. Cut the Limeade image on the inside line. Adhere the Limeade on top of the black image using Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere to the tube with Stampin' Dimensionals.
11. Punch a 1" circle from Lucky Limeade cardstock and adhere to the tube with Stampin' Dimensonals.
12. Stamp the sentiment in Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punch with a 3/4" circle punch.
13. Color the pumpkin with Tangerine Tango ink.
14. Adhere the sentiment to the Limeade circle using a Stampin' Dimensional.
15. Fill the tube with candy and treats!
