    Sorry, I did try to reduce the size of it but it didn't work. If someone tells me how to I will reduce it asap! :o
  • Wilkinsons at the moment have (intended for Halloween) small black plastic cauldrens for 80p (although have a tag on saing £1.28). To give you an idea of size they would probably just hold a pint of liquid. (Cant think of any other way to describe this!). I have bought one to make a pot of gold for my mum which will be filled with werthers (her fave) and topped with two pound coins and some lotter tickets. I think the cauldren will make it look more like a traditional 'crock of gold'. Probably not that festive but a good all year rounder! lol

    Tesco have HUGE bags of gold coins in, £3.50 each or 2 for £4. I haven't counted how many are in but much more than in the standard 99p bags, maybe 4 times as many.

    I have also been considering the black couldrons from Wilkinsons.
    Im debating holding out until after halloween to see if i can pick them up reduced... or whether i should grab them now just in case? Opinions?
    Ive never made these before and have almost everything sorted already so im just making 3 this year.
    I already have gold coins.
    I wonder if you can spray the black plastic couldrons antique gold?
    where does one find spray paint?
    Everything is always better after a cup of tea
