Finished Baskets - Part 2

Sian_the_Green

Hey all, as ever am very impressed with everyone.
I was browsing a website and came across these and thought they would be good to include in a winter warmer hamper as mitten or welly warmers or in a bigger version as a 'hot water bottle'. I'm sure someone will have mentioned something similar before but I love the instructions on here as they go from crafty to lazy in a few easy steps so you can pick how much work you fancy doing

They look really interesting Sian but I've got to go and do some work now (shame!!) so will study that website later!!

Thanks

Hello, was reading this thread and saw people asking where to buy the cellophane. I'd recommend trying your local colleges - not so mad as it sounds - most colleges run a floristry course and have a college shop where they sell flowers, wraps, ribbons etc. Three of my local colleges have these and are happy to sell to non-students. I discovered them when I did a 4 week decorate your house for Christmas course at the one college. The wrap and ribbons are at just above trade cost price, much cheaper than buying from either eBay or the local florists.

Perhaps we're cousins!!!

Annoyingly, my friend does know the sex of the baby, but isn't telling anyone. Which is good in a way because I like the element of surprise when the baby's born, but in terms of doing a baby shower hamper it's annoying because we've had to go for neutral colours.

I'm in the midst of putting a smaller hamper together for my friend's birthday on Tuesday - a DVD one (Mamma Mia). I'll put a pic up of that when it's finished too.

It's all thanks to you guys on here for the inspiration!!!!

Can you just add custard to the sponge and serve it as a pudding instead??

I hate it when I get things wrong esp when making them for other people it's often the way though! Hope it works out!

I binned the rubbish ones (couldn't bear to look at them) and baked new ones which were lovely - topped with lots of icing and sprinkles! Thanks for the tip, never thought of doing that

Oh my word that is fabulous, it is for me isn't it...? :rotfl: Rusty, you are going to be going into the Guiness Book of World Records for the most amount of Cadbury's chocolate a person can fit into a box

Where did you get your box or did you make it, it is gorgeous :j

So sorry to see the sad face on your little one (only caught up with this thread now). Glad the doctor sorted you out with antibiotics. Hope she starts feeling much better soon as she looks so sad and poorly in the picture.

Edit: just read the posts and saw you got your boxes in Aldi - guess where I want to go tomorrow... ALDI!!!
