passion - that looks fine. Don't worry. You should have seen some of mine -thank goodness I did a few shoe boxes -mind you they weren't that easy as it was a problem trying to fit everything in !!

mdhughes - thats a lovely idea ...........can't help with suggestions - sorry - except to echo what everyone else has said.



OH got our Henry out this morning (bless him) - he took one look at my computer room, heaved a deep high and walked away................now he's gone to the pub and who can blame him................lol:rotfl:

Not me Mary, at least not if your computer room's anything like our house :rotfl:

I'm glad you're about Mary as I was reading the list for one of your hampers, (#1295) and wondered what 'Canned rainbow' was?

Tia and thanks for the reassurance too

Canned rainbows............empty gravy granuel tub, covered with paper with rainbows on it and a rainbow on the lid and some rainbow chewy sweets inside...............also did Canned sunshine for grandson.........same thing but paper with sunshine pictures on it and filled it with sherbert lemons.
OH seems to think now that I want every empty gravy granule tub, jar,. loo roll middle etc..............................lol



He'd have been glad he'd gone to the pub if he'd heard me a few seconds ago..........got dreaded blue screen come up on computer and it shut off !!!

I know it's bound to have been asked before but can someone advise me on the best pull bows to get ie best size and suggest a good priced ebay seller? The prices really vary and some give sizes for the width of the ribbon but not the finished bow size. I only want a pack of 10!!! Does anyone have any recommendations for me?? Also are they easy to make up??

Many thanks

:eek: They scare the whatsits out of me :eek:

Thanks again for the reply Mary - love the idea of a canned rainbow

I just checked the orders I'd placed on flower hour (forgot to grab the address but will find in a sec) and I seem to have ordered all the same size (as in the picture above) and they were 31mm, but I'm not sure if that helps? Sometimes they seem small, but that's mainly if you do the wash basket sized hampers, but otherwise they seem about right to me.

The first attempt at pulling the bow together is, if anyone's like me lol, usually a learning experience but after that they're a doddle.

Thanks Passion8 - I know of that seller as I have bought cello from them before. They don't have any listed right now but I will keep checking.

There's another seller that I've bought from too Angie, called stroppykids

They have a listing for gold bows on 310104327380 and just noticed some white ones too. Not sure how the prices compare off the top of my head, but they seemed fair when I used them.

No problem

I've always imagined they had stroppy kids :rotfl: lol. There's another listing here: 380083585515 (which also look really pretty) but I can't remember what, if anything, I've ever bought from them.

Angie100

They have some silver bows which is what I am after so i think I will get those. I had a £2.50 voucher from ebay so i can use that and make it very cheap as will only have to pay postage!!!!

Thanks for your help
