Greetings From the North Pole – via USPS

And they were so simple to make.

Supplies:
* empty 2 liter soda bottle (with lid)
* candy or anything to fill them
* scissors
* packing tape

Cut the top of the bottle off with a pair of scissors or a knife (parents do this part.) I forgot to take a picture of this part (I was a little too excited to get these into the mail.) Cut at the point where the bottle starts to curve.

Wash the bottle and dry thoroughly.

Fill with candy (or toys or any goodies.)

Tape the top part of the lid back on.

Print out your label. This one isn’t fantastic but you are more than welcome to use it. Just right click and save it and print it out. Write in the address and cut to fit the soda bottle.

Use packing tape to tape the label onto the bottle. If you position the label at the cut line and then tape the label there, the recipient won’t be able to tell there’s a cut line. This is always fun when they get it and can’t figure out how you got the candy inside the bottle.

When you take these to the post office they may give you a funny look. The woman that was helping me gave me this really weird look and said "really? You’re mailing them like that?" I just smiled and said "you bet!" She weighed them and then said "that’s so cool." Totally agreed!
