thank you so much! they are great!!!
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.
these were the ones I made for our first trip

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 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.
First off, what a great idea! These DISigns are so cute!!
Could I please mak a request?
