Yes you can and in hobbycraft they had clear sellophane with tiny red hearts all over it, you could also add a sprinkle of confetti hearts which would shake about and fall out.
This gives me the idea of putting confetti in my ones for the christmas table ones

Another fab idea - I went into town to get a crimper but no where had them - I bet its the MSErs buying them all!

So its off to Hobbycraft on Saturday armed with a list of goodies to get incl the heart printed cello and sprinkles!

I think I need to buy one of these crimper thingys ... can anyone recommend one off ebay as hobbycraft is a tad too far to justify buying just that! ...

Thankyou in advance

Hi Rusty, there is only just the one on ebay at the mo but there's 6 bids on it already.
I'm sorry I can't help anyone with this, my nearest hobbycraft is 30 miles away.
I've been looking on craft store websites but it's only the expensive fiskars ones I can find at about £15. Really not money saving.
I'm going to email the ebay seller of mine and ask if she has any more though.

Hi,

Been playing about for making these for easter and have done, this which I am quiet pleased with. It will be filled with mini eggs. Paper was so much easier to manipulate than card, and I have only used glue as my local shop was out of double sided tape. Reckon I have about 15 to make. Waiting to buy a crimper to finish it off, but think it looks good.

i have just made 4 for my family that i will see tomorrow and popped in a couple of chocs. ive made them in different papers and embellishments to match there personality. hopefullyy they will be well recieved!

Unfortunately not - text was done in Word Art, and the picture from clip art and printed onto white card - would like to take the credit though! This one was made from 1/2 a side of A4, so is a bit bigger than the original sizes because when I made up the smaller one, I thought it was too small - also means the kids get more eggs!
