someone said to use £land ones as they are thin

I have the strawberry ones and you definatly
cannot get two flannels in them,but worth a
try is the pack of 6 baby flannels in Poundland
and the 99p shops.These are a mix of plain,spotty
and striped designs in each pack.
They are smaller than regular flannels but are ideal for
removing make up .If you used a plain flannel and a
patterned baby one it would look really effective.

Also you definatly cannot fit a pair of fluffy socks in the
strawberry ones,as I know to my cost but you can fit a
pair of regular socks in them even two pairs if they are
the lightweight summer ones.Those brown cases that people
are using for the fluffy socks and slippers are much larger than
the regular cases.If I can I will try and find out wich seller I
bought the large sized ones from and post on here.

ah no i bought these will they be too small for fluffy socks?

just checked I bought the large sized cases
from Baking Frenzy the sellers name is
noonoo0_2

30 cases large cases are 99p + 1.25 PP
they are 7.5cm in diameter where the strwberry ones
are 5cm.
I think if you are after the large ones it would be
worth getting in touch with the seller as she has
none listed at the moment but would probably list
some if asked.
I notice this seller has Mickey Mouse ones are 7cm
diameter so these would probably work as well.

all to no avail.those lemon socks are really thick
and fluffy so no way would they fit in anything
but the larger one.Never realised that a couple
of cm difference in diameter could make such a
difference until I recieved the brown ones in the
post.

I managed to fit a pair of fluffy socks in the strawberry cases, they stick out the top a bit more than your flannel but look ok more like an ice cream than a cup cake. I put a plain red lollypop in the centre and they look lovely. Make the socks come up to a point in the centre when rolling so they look more cone shaped if you can imagine that, sorry cant do photos as nothing to conect my phone to the computer but they do look good. I bought the socks in Peacocks and they are normal size fluffy socks in pink and white stripes.

Hi everyone,

Just to give an update, I received the last of my stuff yesterday and made up all my muffins and I'm sooooo pleased with the end result. The carmex lipglosses look perfect.

Anne, I know they're a bit pricey in places like boots but I ordered mine off ebay and they were £7.50 for 5 including postage, working out at £1.50 each. They're cherry flavour and smell divine! Hope that helps!

Just managed to concoct a muffin case from some scrapbook paper to put a pair of blue and white striped toastie socks in.........quite pleased with it. Popped a glass bead on the top -sort of ice blue colour and wrapped the whole thing in cellophane. Makes it look bit more interesting that just giving someone a pair of socks.
