Toothpaste

 I think Im addicted to shrinking things .... I cut up a toothpaste tube ( when it was empty)

 then scanned it into the computer, resized it and then printed and cut out the prints.

 I found a cocktail fork was the right size for me to re curve the tube and glue it.

 When it was dry I slid it off the fork and pinched the bottom with a bit of glue inside ...to represent the crimped end

 the other end of the tubes I then glued to paper and left to dry.

 while they were drying I rolled some thin strips of paper into tight coils for the lids.

 when the tube had dried I cut around it so the paper it was glued to closed the round end.

 then I added the coil lids.Toothpaste tubes come in lots of sizes so I made a couple different size.

 as you can see gentle presure on the tube makes it look used.

or how about a new one just being taken from the box :) Well that was fun :) whats next ;)
