Garland Storage


This image from Jordan Ferney is part of a tutorial on making bunting. But it also could be part of a tutorial on how to store you holiday garlands. I think I will have to save my empty paper towel tubes for more than just kids crafts!

What do you call empty paper towel tubes?

hmmmm, empty paper towel tubes! Is that a trick question?

This is a great idea though. I have actually used empty paper towel tubes to wrap Christmas tree lights on. I put one end through the tube, then wrap, and connect the ends. It works pretty well in a pinch :).

What a great idea....now do you have one for how to store the ghost tree that I made lol!

They're called hooters! (Because you can "hoot" into one end to make a cool sound.) Darn that restaurant for opening up and ruining the name!

We call them Der te Ders - because that is the sound my kids make when they talk through them! Love that bunting btw.

Just discovered you lovely blog. Great ideas I plan to use and crafts to make.
My husband and his entire family call the paper towel rolls "bo-de-o's". Huh?? Never heard that one until I married into the family!
Love the blog.
