Turn Paper Tubes into Farmhouse Decor

I love to take something that is usually a trash items and make it into something amazing.  I have been saving these paper tubes from a table set we got because I knew they would make something wonderful and be a ton better than in a landfill.  



Here is a video on how to make these farmhouse style decor pieces.



I used some very basic colors for the tubes to allow me to use them for more than just one season.  I kept to neutral colors of cream, Kraft, brown, and tan, with one little pop of red, but the red can be used for Autumn, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and even 4th of July!


To change the season you want to use it for, just add something inside like flowers that are colors of the season like these beautiful fall flowers.



These are super simple to make.  Start with the paper tubes, and the cut the papers to size and using the Xyron Creative Station Lite turn all the little papers into stickers to stick to the tubes.  I love Xyron adhesive, no mess and no fuss and works like magic!!


Add some burlap and twine to the top and you have a fun little decor piece.


You can use the tubes for more than just flowers, sky's the limit on what you can place in the little holes in the top, even use them for storage of pens, paint brushes, scissors and more!!


So before you throw something away, think how can I alter this to make something amazing!!!

  1. Great idea. Having a handy husband is a
    benefit. I lost my handy man 14 years ago and I really miss being able to show him something I want and him coming back later with it made or with a sample so he is sure he is going in the right direction. Treasure him. thanks for sharing.
