Halloween Goody Tubes

I've been making these Halloween goody holders for my son's class for the past few years and they are always a big hit.  I love that we can use items we already have around the house and that they are pretty easy to put together.  Even the kids could help make these!  To make these cute goody tubes you need toilet paper or paper towel rolls, party streamers, and a glue gun.  You can use googly eyes and colored paper or craft foam to add the details.


I start by adding the goodies to the tube.


Then, I put a small strip of hot glue on the tube to keep the streamer in place and wrap it around from end to end twice.


Next, I hold the streamer in place and start wrapping it around the rest of the tube until it is covered.  I add one more strip of hot glue to hold the other end of the streamer in place.  Then, using googly eyes, colored paper and craft foam I add on the details.

You can make a bat...


a spider...


a mummy...


or even a witch!



Happy Halloween!

  12. What a cool idea for sending treats for your child's classmates for Halloween. The kids really get a kick when they get to do something creative & then to have the whole class see the results would have them dancing on air!( of course that is probably all the sugar that has them dancing) But who cares as long as its fun!
