Upcycled Plastic Tubes: Love Letters

A friend of mine gave me these plastic tubes. Here is the before picture.  Pretty boring, huh?

Here is what I came up with.  Pretty simple.  I made it in less than five minutes!  Think "Message in a Bottle."  You can use it as a tube to send love notes back and forth!  Another use would be to store kids' Valentine's notes.  So many uses, so easy to make, and a great way to recycle.
