Yikes!! Don't throw that away!! Toilet paper tube treat holder!!

Hello!  Are you snowed in?!   Lots of snowfall happening today!  We wound up getting approximately three flakes where I live...just three. I counted! :)  Although the thought of being snowed in sounds appealing I must admit that I am happy this one passed us by! :)

So, are you a keeper of all things like I am?!!   Do you look at every little thing and wonder how you can re-purpose it?!  I am soooooo guilty of this!!  See what I mean:

Here we have ordinary old toilet paper tubes!!  We all have a bazillion of these little guys laying around, right?!  I have been saving some to make a toilet paper tube album (which are super cool btw!!).  I was looking at my little stack of them and wondered what else I could possibly use them for and viola!!  Inspiration struck!!  Look!!!    Loook!!!!   Loooooook!!!!

Okay, well the tube is in there!!  I promise!!!  We will get to that, but first look at this adorable bunny!!  He is made entirely from punches and the oval framelit dies!  Minus the whiskers which I just snipped off the end of a scrap!

Here is a side view of this cute little guy!

Wooooo hooooo!  Check out that tail! *giggles!!*  It is a treat holder!!  This is where that tube comes into play!!  It will fit any of the mini candy bars!  This one is currently holding a Ghiradelli chocolate square!

I covered the tube on both sides with card stock and then got busy punching and die cutting! I sealed up one end of the tube with sticky strip to keep the candy from scooting out of the bottom.   He stands about 8" tall!  He is holding a little Easter Message for someone in his little bunny paws!  Now that was a fun project!  I was grinning the whole time I was assembling!  I think he would make a great addition to an Easter basket!
