Where to find....long, plastic tubes

[lock3130]

We are trying to find long, clear, plastic tubes to put candy in....but we can't find them ANYWHERE! Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi. I would try a hardwear store, Home depot, or Lowes, they sell different type of tubing.

We tried all of the craft stores but we didn't try the hardware stores. We'll look there.

Thanks!

http://www.papertreyink.com has them in several sizes. They are a bit more expensive, but not terribly high.

I'm thinking that if you want them for your wedding you may want to get them somewhere less expensive. I know a site, I just have to find the link to post it. I'll get back with you if you are doing them for wedding favors.

http://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/SqCandyBottle.html (these are not clear plastic tubes, but I'm going to order some of these for my stamping clubs. Very cool)

http://www.sks-bottle.com/SpiceBottles.html (I've also used these spice bottles with the white lids. Just do a circle with the info on the top, and tie a ribbon around the lid)

http://www.usbox.com/candy/clear_tubes_w__caps.html (these are tubes but I think they're a bit spendy. They are about the same price as Papertrey. I'm wondering if you contact Papertrey if they'll give you a quantity discount)

Go to Petco (or any pet shop) and buy aquarium tubing. You can also use medical tubing but it is much more expensive. We have used this for sugar candy (like pixie stix), sand art, glitter art etc. It is cheap and works great!

Have you tried Oriental Trading..it's a mail order company and you can find them online.

Have you tried looking for plastic test tubes or plastic science experiment tubes?
