Tube It

Plastic tubes are inexpensive and can be used in various ways. Insert a simple paper label to create this finished and professional look.

You will need:

• 2 1¾x6-inch plastic tubes
• 2 3x7-inch paper labels (designed by Personallyprintednj)
• 3x9½-inch tube
• 4½x10-inch paper label
• dried fruit, taffies
• breadsticks
• melted chocolate or cookie dip
• assorted toppings
• narrow cellophane bags
• twist ties or ribbon

1. Dip breadsticks into melted chocolate and dip into toppings. Allow to dry.
2. Wrap the decorated breadsticks in cellophane bags and tie with twist ties or ribbon.
3. Place the larger paper insert into the larger tube and add the chocolate-covered breadsticks.
4. Place the smaller inserts into the smaller tubes and fill the tubes with dried fruit and wrapped taffies.
