They are gorgeous .... not hold much though. They could be used as place cards to put guests names on, so everyone knows where they are sitting at the Christmas table !

Are there any poems for tags to go with these pots of gold?

Fab idea, I'd never heard of them until I read this thread today

Thanks

This is the one I used last year and had gold card backing it with the edges showing. (sorry it's so big)

Going to make these this year, was too late last year, will start looking for a suitable pot this week, son has a male teacher this year so think its better to do one for him, plus sister and bil

Last year, I bought sets of small tumblers from Morrisons, pack of 4 glasses for a pound.........and as quite a few were left lying around after they had taken the goodies out of them .....I ended up getting them back so I only needed to buy 1 pack this year and they still have them in stock. Probably for schools .......safety wise, best not to use glass.
