Step 1The first step in making a yarn dispenser out of a toothpaste tube is squeezing out as much of the remaining toothpaste as you can.
-
Step 2Next, cut the top of the tube off.
-
Step 3Now, cut a line from the top, to the bottom of the tube.
-
Step 4Wash out the inside of the tube. I did this over my sink, and it ended up clogged. You might want to use your bathtub if you are using a tube that still has a good sum of paste left inside. Use toothpaste's best friend, toothbrush, to get into the corners and edges.
-
Step 5Dry it off and have the packaging tape on standby.
-
Step 6Check the stash for the yarn you want to use. (Mine's a mess!)
-
Step 7This is the one I picked out. You might want your yarn to match the flavor of the toothpaste. I picked this one because the name of the paste was Fruit Pursuit, and it looked fruity to me. :)
-
Step 8Using four fingers, wrap the yarn into a tiny skein. Set the skein aside.
-
Step 9Do not tape the top of the tube shut yet. Wrap the rest of the tube in packaging tape.
-
Step 10Using the strand end of the yarn, get it running out the end of the tube.
-
Step 11Put the rest of the mini-skein into the tube.
-
Step 12Put a piece of tape across the top that will be easy to take off so you can reload the tube.
-
Step 13Screw the cap back on, and you've got a fully functioning toothpaste tube yarn dispenser. Any questions? Just post them below and I'll answer. :3 Thanks :3
My life has been riddled with yarn messes since I've been a craftster
