For today's "Recycle or Reuse"challenge at The Kraft Journal, I used none other than an empty toilet paper roll to form a little wall hanging or treat sack. I started by hot glueing the bottom of the tube flat (sort of like the shape of a sour cream container) then I took pinking sheers and snipped the bottom. 
I measured and cut a piece from a Vintage Dictionary Page and wrapped it around the tube and secured with adhesive. I took a length of vintage lace from my stash and wrapped it around the bottom of the flat part of the roll. I had some crepe paper that was leftover from one of the short stack's parties some time ago and made a fringe trim to go in the top. I created a handle by hot glueing a length of Black Twill Tape on the inside. A final embellishing touch was using a victorian label sticker from my embellishment stash and adding a black die-cut heart to the center.
Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other gals. We hope to see your Recycle or Reuse creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

That is definitely the prettiest TP roll I have ever seen!
(BTW, why are they called sour cream containers? I have never seen SC in anything but a little tub...is it a US thing? So confused.)
