Brown Kraft Paper Craft Tubes | 15 mm | Pack of 5 - Model Making

Build with a ready made round shape instead of rolling your own. The pack holds 5 rigid kraft paper tubes of about 15 mm across, wound thick enough to hold their shape when cut, painted or glued. The bare kraft surface takes acrylic, decoupage and paper wrap straight away, with no priming.

Before You Buy

• These are craft and model tubes, not drinking straws. They are not made for liquids and we state no food grade rating for them.
• Tube length is not stated on the pack, so we do not list one. Check the product photographs for proportion before you plan a cut list.
• Kraft is a natural board, so tone varies a little between tubes and between packs.
• The tubes are unsealed. If a finished piece goes anywhere damp, seal it yourself after painting.
• Cut with a craft knife against a steel rule rather than scissors, which crush the round section.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide are these tubes and how many come in a pack?
Each tube is about 15 mm across the outside and the pack holds 5. They are plain natural kraft with no print or coating.

How is this size different from the others in the range?
At 15 mm these sit in the middle of the range. They are wide enough for small gift tubes and candle sleeves but still easy to cut. Take 9 mm for fine model frames and 25 mm for posters and wide rings.

Can I paint them?
Yes. The bare kraft surface takes acrylic, poster colour and decoupage glue directly with no priming. Two thin coats cover better than one thick one, which can soften the wall.
