Take a Page from Our Book: Easy Graduation Party Favors

You know all that literature you were forced to buy and read over the years? Well, rather than just tossing your books (or your kid's books) in the recycle bin as soon as you graduate, try getting crafty with some pages.

This crafty graduation party favor will cost you pennies, since most of the supplies you'll have on hand,  but it fits a graduation party theme perfectly and will impress guests.

As soon as you decide to make these clever favors, start saving those toilet paper and paper towel rolls!

Supplies

toilet paper rolls, or paper towel rolls cut in thirds, 1 per guest
pages from an old book
scotch tape
curling ribbon
scissors

Directions

Step 1: Fill the cardboard rolls with desired treats - wrapped chocolates, nuts, or small toys.

Step 2: Wrap the tubes with pages from an old book. 

Step 3: Tie each end of the paper with curling ribbon. Curl the ribbon with the edge of your scissors. 

Split the curling ribbon in half by snipping a quarter inch in from the end and then splitting the ribbon down the middle. This will give you thinner ribbons, and a little more of a festive look.
