Project Instructions
Cut the empty paper tube to desired length. Cover the outside with chosen print from paper pad, using one or layering multiple prints together.
Using the image as a reference, punch two holes at one end of the tube to use for hanging the ribbon. Cut a length of ribbon (this length will depend on desired look you want and size of tree, etc.) and thread the ribbon through the holes, leaving approximately ¾" to 1" of excess at each end, on the inside of the tube. Fold the ends up towards the main ribbon loop, attaching them in place with brads or eyelets.
Attach the acrylic gem in place at the opposite end with hot glue, ensuring that the hot glue stays on the inside of the tube.
Embellish the outside of the tube with sections of Christmas picks, jingle bells, gems, flowers, and bows.
Repeat as desired.
