Can anyone please tell me, or show me, what teabag holders are? Also, I'm looking at making the Bath Salts for my Mum and Nan, can anyone suggest where I might be able to buy the epsom salts and scented oils on the high street?

This ^^^^^^^^^^^ is a tea bag holder. Also it was back on page 65 top post I think that Giggle mentioned them and she has pictures fo hers on her blog http://jkhcrafts.blogspot.com/

also if you type tea bag holder into google you should find a fair few on there too.

sammy - thats lovely :T
So far I haven't done mine as a 'book' style........they're more like little envelopes but without the flap and a hole punched through and then tied with ribbon. I've done some this morning to put all the silly bits in that I've made or bought.............good way of using up some old paper and card as well

Still got cobweb chasers to do and find a way of wrapping up dish mop and tea towel (washer/dryer)

What is a cobweb chaser? I wrapped my washer/dryer in cellopane with a ribbon and got to print out a tag with the quote

irishgirl - I think I found it on alllfreecrafts.com
On there they called it a Garden Glove Cobweb Remover.

Pack some stuffing into the middle finger of a gardening glove then put a pole (half size broom handle) up the middle finger
Fill the rest of the glove with stuffing, then tie a ribbon round the wrist part.
There is a little image on the website as well that I've printed off to use as a gift tag (also helps receipient know what it is...............lol)
Meant to do it last year but didn't get around to it and couldn't get any cheap gardening gloves but this year I've got two pairs that'll do just right...........purple ones and orange with flowers on.

Having spent all morning making tea bag holders (not like Sammy's though -more like a little envelope without the flap) I thought I could do one big enough for a dish mop and tea towel...........need to cover it up so receipient can't see what it so the final part of the verse I'm putting inside with the tea towel. Just need to get some paper big enough -wrapping paper maybe ?
