creative letter writing 2 - The scroll

I received the most original letter a few months ago. It came in a little box.  It was a scroll.

Although neither of us made it. I am sure it can be duplicated pretty easily.

The outside layer looks like wallpaper. Which is easily found at any store and samples are small and perfect for this project.  You might be able to use decorative scrap booking paper, but this one has a soft thick sponge like quality so it wont crease when wrapped around the wooden spindle.


The inside layer that the letter is written is thick almost hand made type paper and can be found at any good stationers.  Or again use plain wall paper.

Both layers a glued around the wooden spool/spindle very well.  I dont think glue stick will work securely enough. Maybe a glue gun or another serious adhesive that would work.

You can tie it with ribbon. Glittery elastic. String which ever suits the style of your scroll.


I believe that all the materials you need could probably be found at Micheal's.




If you make your own post a picture I would love to see how it turns out.

Receiving a note like this would have to make you think your friend really cares enough to send the very best :)
