1. First
measure 6 inches on the papertowel tube and mark with a pen. Then cut
at the mark, to get a tube 6 inches long. You can throw out the short
end.
2. Measure three inches (halfway) into the 6 inch tube and mark this,
and cut along the mark. You now have two tubes 3 inches long.
3. Cut a piece of wrapping paper approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches
(same size as a standard sheet of paper). Place the two tubes on this
paper, leaving a one inch gap between the two pieces.

4. Roll the paper around the tube, and tape shut. Do not put the tape
over the 1 inch section gap, or it might be harder to "crack" the
popper open. Then, twist one end of the wrapping paper at the end of
the tube, and secure with curling ribbon. Curl the ribbon with the edge
of the scissors.
5. Add your candy and goodies into the tube. Then, tie up the other end
and add the ribbon. Happy 2008!
