The holidays can tap you out, leaving you to have to be creative with your gift wrap! For small gifts, this is a super cheap DIY gift box made from an empty toilet paper roll. It is also a great way to use up those scraps of wrapping paper!
Materials:
Toilet paper tubes
Gift wrap
Scissors
Invisible tape
Pencil & ruler optional but helpful!
Step 1: Measure Wrapping Paper
Measure the length of the roll, and cut the paper long enough to go around the tube one and a half times. Make sure the paper covers the ends on either side.
Tape one end evenly to the roll, with invisible tape.
Step 2: Roll Your Roll
Roll the paper around the roll, and tape the seam. Try to keep everything nice and even - you can trim the edges with scissors to even it out if need be.
Step 3: Pinch and Tape
Pinch the roll at one end, like shown above. Fold the end neatly, and tape closed.
Fill the tiny box with goodies, then repeat the folding and taping procedure on the other side. Attach a cute little tag and give your gift!
