YOU WILL NEED
-4 Cardboard Tubes from the inside of wrapping paper (or 24 old toilet rolls would also work!)
-Assortment of coloured and patterned tape (Mine is from a few different places. The mt washi tape is from http://www.stonegift.com but Ikea and Paperchase also do a good selection)
-Assortment of ribbon (Mine are from Ikea)
-Coloured or glitter paper (Mine is from HobbyCraft)
-Assortment of gift tags (Mine are from Ikea)
-Festive cookie cutters, stencils or shapes (you could print these off the internet if you don't have any)
-Scissors, Pen, Glue, Sharpie
-Tinsel or String
-Tree to hang the boxes on! This is optional, you could also hang them on your Christmas tree if you put it up early! (Mine is from TKMaxx)
-25 gifts (Chocolate, mini gifts, hair ties, makeup, personal messages etc)
INSTRUCTIONS
--Step 1: Flatten the cardboard tubes using your hands
--Step 2: Measure out 11cm sections (6 per roll with a little to spare) and cut them. In total you should have 24 pieces
--Step 3: Push the ends of the cardboard sections down to create little pouches
--Step 4: Fill each pouch with a chocolate, gift or message
--Step 5: Decorate all of your boxes however you like! I've used coloured tape, ribbon and glitter paper cut outs, but you can use anything you have around the house including felt tips, sequins, coloured paper, holly, mistletoe etc! Don't forget to stick on a little loop of string to the top of each pouch so that you can attach it to your string!
--Step 6: String all of the pouches together using string, ribbon or tinsel
--Step 7: Wind your string of pouches around your tree in a helter-skelter motion. If you don't have a tree like mine, you can put them on your christmas tree or simply put the string up on its own over a mantelpiece or in your kitchen. Make sure they are spaced out evenly and you're DONE!
