  • Hey Guys
    I've done a couple of little hampers, but organised myself really late this year.
    Anyway just wondering if anyone can give me advice on wrapping them? I've had a go but I just made a total mess of it. Looks nowhere near as good as yours.
    Thankyou :-)
    If i can master the wrapping i'l put some pics up for you.

    Ooh I may have figured this out while I was waiting for the page to load lol
    but how do you make these? I was after something similar for my niece's movie night hamper - was eyeing up the fleecy blankies in Woolies but they sold out :( and haven't seen any more at the price I want to pay and the right colour :o

    Am guessing its glueing the edges instead of hemming? I can get the fabric from the remnant shop (just something else to squeeze in to err 3 and a bit days:eek: )

    Been making snowman soup/flannel cupcakes and homemade chocolate slabs all morning - OH thinks I have lost the plot (I never knew the plot in the first place :rotfl: )

    Still haven't made my mince pies nor the dundee cake, plus got to make a chocolate roulade for xmas eve... time flies!!

    These are the instructions I followed...
    http://heartsandtrees.blogspot.com/2007/12/no-sew-fleece-blankets.html

    It's very easy, just a bit repeptitive ;)

    I got my fleeces from Ikea, Primark sell fleece blankets for about £2 each I think.
