Instructions
-
Since the cylinder mailing tube is a little bit of an odd shape to work with, I decided to use my flexible ruler. I started out by drawing straight lines (well as straight as possible) and drawing out my designs in between the lines using a white paint pen.
-
Keep drawing on your pattern until you have gone all the way around your mailing tube. Heres a close up shot of some of the patterns I created. As you can see, it is not even close to perfect, but I personally love that imperfect/handmade look!
-
Now its time to personalize your gift! Take out your best penmanship and write out your message on the tag using the same white paint pen.
-
Taking some jute twine, string your tag through, wrap it around your mailing tube, and finish it off with a bow!
-
The last step is to fill your mailing tube with goodies! If you are packaging a smaller gift, I recommend using some paper shreds to complete the look! I decided to fill mine with some of my favorite Sugar lippies from Fresh. After your mailing tubes are all filled up, they are ready to be given away!
