pressed penny tube designs...mentos tube?

I would like to know how everyone stuck the paper to the tube? Glue, tape...etc...

I use clear contact paper to cover the design.

For the tall m&m container I make the design 3.75 wide x 5.25 high
For the mento container I make the design 4.25 wide x 2.75 high

I then cut the contact paper slightly larger (maybe 1/4 inch) than the design on 3 sides (top, bottom and one side)

I then place the design face down on to thesticky side of contact paper, making the one side of the design even with the edge of the contact paper.

I start by putting the even edge on to the container and begin wrapping it around, the extra on the opposite side will overlap where you started.

Hope that made sense. :goodvibes

these were the ones I made for our first trip

I noticed your wonderful designs for pressed penny tubes. I was wondering, if it's not too much trouble if I could get mentos and m&m tubes for the following:

Fairies for Hannah
Marie (with Pink background) for Rebekah

Minnie Mouse - no name
Mickey Mouse - no name

Thanks so much!















 
Ok! Thank you! Can I get the contact paper at any craft store?

I tried using a glue stick and then once it was on correctly I used packing tape all the way around one time, slightly overlapping in the back.
 
I just love these tube covers :love:. Can I please get you to make a couple for me.

Toy Story---Caiden's pressed pennies (Mentos and M&M)

Avengers, Shake it Up, or Wizards of Waverly Place---Ricky's pressed pennies (Mentos and M&M)

Thank you so much for the designs. My son's will really enjoy having their own personalized tubes.

I didn't read the whole forum on this, but I was wondering what program you use to make these? I'd like to be able to make my own, but I'm clueless on how to start! Thanx!

I use photoshop elements.

I google for an image and then start editing to remove wording or to extract part of the picture to add to another image, etc.
 
The designs are great. Thank you! I know my girls will love them. Now I just need to eat some m&m's!

Have a great day!:yay:

It took me a long time to figure out how Creative DISigns works! I asked about the program b/c I felt bad asking for such a large order for my 5 kiddos! Now I know that's what you guys do! What a great thing to do for others! I think your Disigns are awesome BTW! If you wouldn't mind, could you please do an M&M and a Mentos for each of my kids? I'm in no hurry, we leave in May! I really appreciate it!

Michael-Goofy
Savannah-Sleeping Beauty
Autumn-Little Mermaid
Jocelyn-Tangled (if you don't have that, then Tink)
Sierra-Snow White
(I already found a Captain Jack one I like for my locker money-mmm he's so pretty.)

Thank you so much!
