Thanks, I must try another branch of asda for the soaps

I used 2" punch on the jars of nothing, I printed it out then placed the punch over the centre of the printout and punched it.

Whilst browsing in Boots last week I saw a lovely idea of a round soap, wrapped in a flannel and cellophane and tied to look like a giant sweetie. Very simple but pretty.

Sorry can't find any links to the item on the site :mad:

Irishgirl - you have some lovely things on your blog - well done.

Just after a bit of advice - I have made a flannel reindeer and when I have done the antlers - on the smaller one that I have cut in half the metal seems really sharp - has anyone else had this- and if so what would you recommend to make it less sharp - cant get pliers (?) small enough to bend the ends?? unless it was just a dodgy pipecleaner because both ends where sharp???
Many Thanks

ali - had that problem myself but can't remember how I got round it Sorry -not much help am I

I had that problem last year and it has put me off making them to sell.

How are you doing the numbers?

mary-op

rainmac - does it work like a 'count down calendar' ? Or is there a way of hiding some kind of treat behind the numbers ?
