Souvenirs in a test tube: This is how it works

1. Prepare template

What makes your souvenir in the test tube special is the personal message you write on the glass. If you are confident with freehand writing and drawing, you can safely skip this step. Everyone else prepares a template on paper. To do this, print out a saying in a beautiful font or simply write your greeting on the paper. Small patterns such as stripes, hearts or dots complement your writing perfectly.

2. Push the template into the test tube

Roll up your template slightly and slide it into the jar. The paper opens automatically inside the glass. Make sure everything sits straight so your design doesn’t end up crooked later.

3. Transfer the template to the glass

Now you can trace your template with the fiber pen or decorate your test tube freehand with lovely words and motifs. Use pens in different colors for a particularly colorful result. You should always let the colors dry thoroughly between pen changes.

Tipp: If you use colorful chocolate buttons as the filling, your motif shouldn’t be too bright and delicate, otherwise it won’t be visible so well later.

4. Fill the souvenirs into the test tube

Now you can fill your souvenir in the test tube. Whether it’s the aforementioned chocolate buttons, sweet love beads, little gummy bears or even a rolled-up voucher – you can fill your jar with anything that fits in it! You can also customize the filling to suit the season or a special occasion. Small Easter eggs are perfect for the upcoming Easter, while red heart candies are a great wedding gift.

5. The finishing touches

Seal your souvenir in the test tube with the corresponding cork and decorate the upper end with ribbons, fresh flowers such as roses and gypsophila or stylish dried flowers. Decorated like this, your craft work will be an absolute feast for the eyes!

If you invite yourself to brunch, you can also label the glasses with the names of your guests and use the filled test tubes as place cards. The glass tubes are perfect for small gifts and can also be used later as a vase or decoration. Try it out yourself and surprise friends and family with little gifts.
