More Crafty Ideas

Hi, thought I'd share with you all, a web site that I've just found.
It has some really nice gift ideas that we could make for presents, ie. photo gift bags and boxes, cellofane cones.
Also has some templates for labels etc, to download (including Halloween), and some nice gift wrapping ideas too.

    Hi Moonpenny, wow, those ribbons are great (I hadnt looked at those before). I'm well jealous now .... I want some too.

    The nappy cakes are all done thank you (although thinking I should do another 3 tier in neutral colours). I have a total of 16 done now.
    If you had asked me that same question on Sunday, I would of given you a totally different answer :mad: , I couldnt find any bows in pink, blue or neutral, so as well as having to wrap them all, had to make the bows too. Boy was I getting stressed out !!! Finally found the OH camera (thank god) so will post a piccie when they are all together.

    Getting a bit nervous now, I have the stall to do on Saturday. We have had rain all week on and off, but it looks like the sun might have returned, so fingers crossed, it is here to stay.

    has anyone found the cellophane cones in the UK at all? Just thinking shipping might make them a tad pricey :)

    think this is the cheapest place i could find: Daisy Shop - 100 for under £10 plus about £4 shipping so 14p each - miles cheaper than anything else i've found!

    Thanks Bravo - they're 2" shorter but that shouldn't make much difference :)

    Thanks so much for posting Candy! I've printed the snowman soup labels as was doing this anyway and this saves me making my own labels :D

    How about these cellophane cones? I've just bought 15 for £2.20 including delivery. I got candy canes from Sainsburys last week and mini marshmallows from Tesco. Can't wait to have a go at making some up!!!
