    sethsgran those are lovely! Are they canvas pictures? Or Easter gift boxes? Sorry might be wrong! Love the colourful design though. Sorry to hear you are not close by.

    Thinking of making some carrot cones but was wondering what are you using for the orange sweets inside?

    I used "millions" last year for my carrot cones :)
    The chicks are on blocks of wood, painted then scrapbooking paper on the top 3. She has a cricut so cut out the vinyl chicks and then sealed everything with pva type glue.Her local diy store cut the wood for her and the square ones are 7x7x2 inch. She has made other things but these photos were sent to me yesterday. She has a good eye for detail and she is so neat.

    Thanks, anyone know how many 'millions' will i need to fill up a cone? Where can i get them cheaply? Ebay are selling 100g for £1.50. Is that a good price and does anyone know roughly how many cones will that fill? Thanks! :)

    Your daughters makes a GORGEOUS!!! Really pretty colours, plus I love that it's not the usual Easter chocolate, but something much more unique and can be kept :T

    I'd certainly buy them :)

    So many lovely ideas and makes on this thread :)

    I'm making Easter gifts this year and have a few ideas.....I'm big on recycling so would like to make things that can be kept, re-used in some way, or recycled (which means no cello this time!!!).

    So far on my list I have:

    Sock bunnies
    Easter hunt bags
    Homemade chocolate easter eggs - if I have time i'd like to do egg and soldiers :)
    Spring-sowing kit (painted terracotta pot, plant markers, seeds)
    Easter cupcakes

    Will post pics as soon as they're complete!
