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?

  1. 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 :).

  3. 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!

  6. 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.
