Toilet Paper Tube Icicles
Great decoration for the artificial tree, a package decoration, or even to hang in the trailer windows. Suprise them with a whole set! Just unravel a toilet paper tube, spread on some glue and sprinkle with glitter. To make a string to hang it, pull one from an old tube sock or borrow the string from a new tampon and you are golden.

Spit Cup
My grandpa dips snuff and always needs a “spit cup” around to deposit his “juices”. Usually he uses an old tomato paste can, but I thought that this one would be so much nicer. Just get a regular size vegetable can, remove the label, rinse and dry well, decorate with colorful string, and use a Sharpie to write a nice sentiment to your loved one. And have a Merry White Trash Christmas!

Hi All,
My family just started the tradition of “giving the trashiest gift contest”. Last year my sister-in-law won, she gave us used backyard patio-chair cushions that were ‘Repared” (notice spelling) with duct tape. I dont know if your contest includes ideas -w/out crafting or pictures…but here’s what I plan for her this year; A short digital homeade video of me at my ‘Martha-Stewart best’making a funny cooking video on a favorite wonderbread/weener and ketchup pizza recipe!With background music and credits rolling and all!
