Upcycled DIY Christmas Gift Giving Tube Teen Gift Idea
Material needed for this handmade Christmas gift idea
- empty, clean cylinder shaped container (Pringles can show)
- scissors
- glue (white glue, craft glue or glue gun)
- two coordinating pieces of holiday paper (red and green shown)
- a coordinating trim (gold ribbon shown)

How to Make this teen gift idea
Step 1: Make sure that your container is clean and dry. Wrap it with red paper lining up the edge of the paper with the top of the can.
Step 2: Trim the excess paper off the bottom if it is too long.
Step 3: Use glue to secure the paper tightly to the cylinder container.
Step 4: Cut a strip of green paper to wrap around the center of the cylinder and glue it into place.
Step 5: Glue the trim right at the seam where the green paper meets the red paper so you have clean looking edges.
Step 6: From the green leftover paper cut out two holly leaves as shown. Form the red paper cut three holly berries as shown.
Step 7: Use the marker to add detail to the leaves if desired.
Step 8: Glue the holly leaves and berries to the can partially on the green and partially on the red so it creates a nice contrast.
Step 9: Write a Holiday message on the front and don’t forget to write your TO: and FROM: as well.
Step 10: Use some of the leftover paper to cut a circle that fits on top of the lid and glue that down.
Step 11: Fill with any sorts of gifts for the holidays along with festive tissue paper, shredded paper, confetti or whatever you find fun.

Years ago, I used to cover cans and put Christmas cookies in and give as gifts. I haven’t done that in so long. Your can turned out very pretty.
SO easy to make and it came out great. I think I will try this.
I love recycling those rolls. Such a great idea!
I love cute and creative gift containers like this! It’s so easy, I will definitely be making some to put gifts in.
What a cute and creative idea. I could put my nephews Hot Wheels in this.
Aww that looks awesome! This is such a cute way to wrap a gift!
What a simple but affective upcycle – I love the idea of being able to DIY a few bits each year. x
So cool and creative idea. This is really cute and a perfect gifts. Thanks for sharing.
Very cleaver I could put Bella’s my little pony’s in it. Could also make a great pen holder for a teacher.
That turned out so lovely! My aunt used to have us save all of our Pringles cans so she could ship us baked Christmas cookies in them each year. I should have decorated them up like this for her.
I could do this and fill it with homemade goodies. I used to recycle Pringles canisters before. I kept uncooked pasta in it, or use it as a container for small items around the house.
What a really cute idea. I’d never think to make a gift giving tube! I think its adorable and would be perfect!
This is a great idea. I have a few of these tubes at home i can use to make these.
I have a ton of ideas for filling these up. This is such a great idea.
Love upcycled items they really are awesome, and fun to make. Great way to use up items!
Upcycling items like this is so creative and super fun to get! we actually have a few Pringles in the pantry so when they’re empty I’ll be sure to keep them on hand. I love the idea of using them for gifts but wrapping them in wrapping paper instead of scrapbook paper. That will definitely throw someone off when they see a long tube under the tree!
You could use this cute gift tube for so many different things! I would put homemade cookies, or dog treats in it!
That’s a very cute Christmas box. I can totally see myself filling with lots of goodies to give to family members.
That’d be a fun craft to make in the Sunday School class or classroom. They turn out cute and they’re easy for the kids to carry home too.
Chip containers are great for gift giving, especially when you have to mail things, since it keeps the gift safe in shipping. Thanks for sharing on the #HomeMattersParty . I hope you will join us again in the new year.
