I saw some 'winnie the pooh' and 'Tigger' muslin cloths in Poundland today. Quite a nice design on each.

Everyones cakes are fantastic and im in the same boat too - ive got my first craft fair in November and unsure how much stuff to make - ill only end up breaking it back down again if not sold. Im also just sorting my insurance out - Does evryone have a company registration number or not as the insurance company are asking for one. Thanks

blanket, bath towel and cloth, booties, muslins, elastic bands all in all for 2 tier with 32 nappies is £14 to make and sell say £20 and for 3 tier with 69 nappies its £20 to make and sell for £25
im not sure if that is too cheap to sell them on

Thats a lot of nappies, I use between 30 and 35 for a 3 tier. Do you roll or swirl? I roll for the bottom 2 tiers as i find it takes far less, I got through so many when i tried swirling. Nappies tend to cost around £3, £3.50 for a 3 tier but would of been double if i used the amount you do x

i use 19 for a 1 tier unless its a mini one then its 8 nappies,29 for a 2 tier and 32 for a 3 tier and i swirl mine

i was needing some advice
i have took cake apart and going to do it again

Hi,
Yes you are definatley using far too many nappies. I also always use size 3 pampers.
I normally charge £20 for a single tier, £30for a 2 tier and £40/£50 for a 3 tier ... again depends how much I put into the 3 tiers.
Offices normally go for the 3 tier that is why I do a £50 one. This has same amount of nappies but 2 suits, 2 johnsons products, 2 socks and a nicer soft toy!
Have made a further 6 but have yet to photo them....might do that now little one is asleep and boys are in garden.:)
