    Lol I knew you would ask! ... I have 3 football ones which a friend has asked me to make for her. And then Saveapenny put up a link to some lovely all wooden ones so I want to try and adapt one of them to see if I can make it work for me ... I would like to do the snowman one pictured below ... but my own version

    I love that snowman one - he's gorgeous isn't he :D I saw saveapenny's post and did have a moment where I thought, I've got to buy more door hangers but don't think I have the time, maybe an idea to shelve for next year... ;)
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    Nicola that looks fab!! well done!!

    Your pics can be changed as you go to upload them. Before you click on the blue button there is a drop down menu which lets you change the picture size. I always use large as they fit nicely to the forum size.

    I have made these for friends at work using a square shaped vase from Tesco sale. Think they were just under £2. Used werthers, 2 lots of goldy coloured roses chocolates from a local cheap shop and tescos own dairy toffees in shiny gold wrapper. Am going to attach a label with poem on and a scratchcard.

    Hi, They look fab. Can I ask where you got the gold holders from - are they candle holders by any chance?? Thinking of pinching the idea for xmas table instead of buying crackers.

    Thanks
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    As I am using mine as table favours (instead of crackers) I have used some scrunched up cello to bulk the bottom, then Werthers, coins and a sprinkling of gold star confetti that I had lying around.

    I picked up the bowls from our local outlet centre (can't remember the name of the shop) They were 6 for £2

    Loving the different styles that everyone has created :T

    Can I ask, what is everyone putting as poems for gift tags for their post of gold? I'm thinkingg of doing a special one for my FIL as his Christmas present (with a special gold treat hidden among the coins and scratchcards)

    Thanks!:confused:
