Supply To Make Cute Gift Box From Toilet Paper Rolls
For obvious reasons, you need tissue paper rolls for this project. For the small item, use toilet paper rolls. Use the kitchen paper towel rolls for longer-size item gifts like a pen, marker or even a vanilla bean stick.
Use any of your favourite fabric prints. You can match the print with the specific occasion.
If you use a fat quarter-size fabric, it would be enough to cover four toilet paper rolls. Just fold the fabric in half, then fold it again. Then cut it into four sections.
Also, you can use layer-cake size fabric, which is 10 inches square.
If you use the towel paper rolls, use the whole fat-eight size or 9″ x 22″ or 11″ x 18″.
This personalized gift box is wrapped like a spring roll using a small fabric sheet. And finish it up with a touch of ribbon knot or twine.
- Cotton fabric with your favourite print or colour, fat quarter size or layer-cake size
- Toilet paper tubes or kitchen paper towel rolls
- Ribbon or decorative twine
- Lighter
- Scissors
