I made some paper tube embellishments for my vintage scrapbooking page.

They are easy to make. Cut DSP (Designer series paper) to 2.5 cm wide by as long as you want the tube to be. The gray tube are 6 cm long, the brown ones are 6.5 cm long and the middle navy one is 7.5 cm long. Use a bone folder to break the fibres and curl the DSP. Then roll it up on a kebab stick, gluing the side edge down before you take the tube off the kebab stick. Adhere to the page with the seam side down.

I wanted to show the ladies at the scrapbooking class that this type of embellishment could also be used for making a birthday card. I used some retired in colour paper for this simple card. The candle flames are made using a leaf from the bough punch.
