Description:
I made my 1st one of these in another group and had so much fun with it! I love them! You will take a paper towel holder/inside roll tube, cut 2.5-3.5 inches off, flatten and seal one end, then add a handle to the other. You will then decorate your pocket according to the theme (or not this time) and fill with a couple of little goodies for your partner. They are similar to a Whimsy Jar but for these, the treasure is in the pocket. The inside goodies are just a bonus! You will have one partner and send one pocket. If there is enough interest, I will host a themed pocket every month :) post below if you are interested :)

If you search Flickr for Whimsy Pocket you should find some other examples.

How do you come up with these fun ideas! This is my fave group!!

I wish I could say this was my idea but it's not. Super glad you like all of us AA's though :o)

Just making sure that while translating I understood this right, the paper towl holder is of some kind of cardboard right? This swap sounds very fun!

Great idea!! Would a TP tube work?

This is going to be a fun swap! Getting started on mine now!

So - the paper towel holder/roll is the center tube that the paper towels are wrapped around. a tp tube is actually a bit smaller and is a tall skinny tube that you will not like as well. If that is all you have though, give it a try :)
