If you ate chips packed in cardboard tubes, then you probably thought that it would be nice to make something useful out of this tube. But usually things do not go beyond vague thoughts. But in vain …
Let's take a look at the simplest ideas for crafts from a cardboard chip tube or similar packaging.
self-adhesive film or colored paper (it is sold for gift wrapping), wide dense braid, glue.
Organizer for knitting needles
If you glue a cardboard tube with colored paper or self-adhesive film with a beautiful pattern, then knitting needles can be stored in such a tube. Get yourself several tubes to store the needles of different sizes in an orderly manner.
Storage box for pasta and spaghetti
A cardboard tube covered with colored paper or self-adhesive can serve as a convenient packaging for pasta. Such a container is much more convenient than the plastic bag in which pasta is usually sold.
By the way, if you put different types of pasta in such tubes, they will take up less space in the kitchen cabinet than packages of different shapes and sizes. Glue a pretty label on each box of pasta (or buy ready-made stickers from the store).
Organizer for pencils and pens
And to create such an organizer you will have to work a little. Gather a few cardboard tubes, cover them with colored paper, and cut the top obliquely (approximately at an angle of 45 degrees). Apply tape to the cut edge to mask the ugly cut. Place the tubes on top of each other and glue them together with a few strips of glue. Cut the upper tube halfway with a clerical knife so that the cuts fix business cards and important notes.
of course, you can decorate tubes from chips not only with the aforementioned materials, but also with fabric, leather, in any other way, but this will require more time, effort, skill.
