Tube Card tutorial

Have you seen the cute tubes we have in store???  Here's how to make a card to go with the tubes for a great gift idea:

-Cut a piece of cardstock at 4 1/4" x 11"
-Score at 4 1/2" and 6"
-At the score line to the left, measure down 1 1/4" from the top and mark with a pencil, then on the same score line measure 1 1/4" from the bottom and mark.
-Then take a ruler and measure out 2" from the top mark on the score line towards the left and mark the line with a pencil -repeat for the second mark lower down.  (See picture)
-Score between these lines downwards to create a third score line - just between the pencil lines.
-Take an exacto knife and cut along the pencil lines with a ruler. (See picture)
-Fold card, decorate as desired and slide tube into slot.


You can make this same card for the smaller tubes we carry.

-Cut a piece of cardstock at 4" x 8 3/4", score at 4" and 4 3/4"
-At the score line to the left, measure down 1 1/4" from the top and mark with a pencil, then on the same score line measure 1 1/4" from the bottom and mark.
-Then take a ruler and measure out 1 1/2" from the top mark on the score line towards the left and mark the line with a pencil -repeat for the second mark lower down. (See picture)
-Score between these lines downwards to create a third score line - just between the pencil lines.
-Take an exacto knife and cut along the pencil lines with a ruler.
-Fold card, decorate as desired and slide tube into slot.

Enjoy!!
