TP Tube as an Envie ~International~ Swap

aprettykitty84 came up with these super fun swaps a few months ago. I asked if she would mind if I hosted one for October. It went so well I am doing it again.

The swap: Get an Empty TP Tube (the center tube the paper is wrapped around). Cut two circles of cardboard or cardstock to cover the ends. Cover & tape one end closed. Now stuff the tube with goodies. Checking your partners profile is great, but not required. Be sure to include a tiny note or business card that has the swap name and your username on it so they know where it came from. Include only things you would like to receive, no trash!

Ideas for goodies…

*Small hard candies or gum

*Small sewing notions (seam rippers, buttons, thread, etc.)

*Scrapbook paper and/or stickers can be rolled to fit in the tube

*Glue stick or Glue dots

*Brads, eyelets, ribbon & other small embellishments

*Small paper punches or stamps

*Mini markers, pencils, pens, postage stamps, bookmarks or other stationary items

*Jewelry or jewelry making supplies

*Recipes (food or craft related)

*Single serve drink mixes (kind you add to bottled water),

*Single serve hot chocolate or coffee

*Tea bags

*Key chains

*Tealite candles

*Something handmade

The possibilities are endless! Be creative, challenge yourself & have a blast!

Now seal up the other end of the tube. Decorate & address the outside. I have found it easier to decorate after it is full, it holds its shape better. You will have one week to send to your partner after they are assigned.
