Pressed Penny Containers

[BNJ226]

So I am trying to make the pressed penny containers. Can someone point me in the right direction as far as directions? I looked through so many pages of threads but can only find after pictures. I am not sure what to print the labels on? The size?

Can some one please help me

I just measured how big my container was and then pasted the image in a MS Word document and resized it to the measurements and then printed it on regular white paper. I then laminated it and taped it on. If you don't have a laminator or access to one, just use clear packaging tape and wrap it around the paper entirely and it makes it waterproof as well.

Hope that helps!

Natalie has the ones for M&M tubes...you can find her 4shared link in the sticky at the top of the page for "meet the DISigners". I have a few of the mentos tube wrappers in my 4shared in the link in my signature.

Here are the measurements that I use:
The M&M tube should measure 5x3.5 inches (for Natalie's wrappers)
The Metnos tube should measure 4.5x3 inches.

I have also seen some people that measure theirs:
M&M tube 3.75 wide 5.25 high
Mentos gum container 4.25 wide 2.75 high
