    Hi natnat13,

    I use double sided tape (from £1 shop pk of about 5 rolls) to stick florist ribbon together. I also put bits where the real ribbon is going just to hold in place.
    Then I use a hot glue gun for real ribbon (to stick back together)

    I very often make the bows separately and glue gun them in place.
    Make sure to but a piece of stiff paper or card behind whatever you are gluing so it doesn't catch the underneath.

    sazzlepink - the only thing I know about regs for selling is to leave all labels and tags on toys.

    Hello Ladies

    Hope you all had a lovely Easter?

    I'm still on holiday this week, so spent this afternoon making a lemon and white nappy cake.

    I managed to find some lemon things in Sainsbury's at the weekend and with 25% off, it was a good price.

    Hope you like it:

    Hi SallyUK

    Your lemon cake looks lovely!

    I don't know why, but I can't seem to sell lemon cakes and I think they look really lovely and "fresh". And they are neutral which is always good.

    Done a few Mini Shoe cakes!

    lovely cakes Sarah, sorry i can't help you on rules abd regs as i'm new to this too, do you have any advice on how to get things wholesale
    I buy my teddies from candi gifts but am trying to find them cheaper and I buy the muslin cloths, brush sets, bibs and socks off ebay. Blankets and wash cloths are proving very difficult though!

    i have been asked to do a white cake with touches of lemon also looking for cream bits for another
    Primark have some nice cream hooded towels for £3.50 hth

    Hi
    Can anyone help me with a couple of technical business questions? 1. Do u need to register a business name, it's obviously not a limited company? 2. Do you have public liability insurance?
    Thanks
