Instructions

Step 1: Cut cardboard tube to desired length. Cut holes of desired shape(s) and size(s) along the tube. Cut a small hole adjacent to the cut openings so that food items can be fastened by pulling and tying sisal rope through the hole.

Step 2: Place variable food items into tube near the cut openings and attach to the other end of the tube using the sisal rope (makes accessing food more challenging).
