Lidls do tea bags in individual sachets - think the ones I got were earl grey about 60p for 25 maybe? I can't remember.

For the calendars I saw one made on the front of a CD case somewhere so you tear the months off the tab and have the hinge at the top so it stands on the desk - can't remember where though

Fab thank you Padster :A I looked all over for teabags in sachets but not in Lidls :rolleyes:

Finding teabags in sachets was a pain. I ended up buying Liptons Yellow Label teabags (makes very nice tea) somewhere online. I sold them for £1 each. Here's a pic of some of mine... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/2009/08/some-craft-fair-bits.html
I did the post it note holders for £1.50 and these sold brilliantly too. They were my two best sellers

There lovely

hels If he finds a money tree could he post us all one our o/h's will be so happy lol.
I wondered that about the sachets too as they are longer . Maybe we could adapt a pocket card.
I feel a tea bag buying trip coming on they would be great for the xmas fair at k's nursery.
Now just need to find pens small enough for the post it note holders.

I only sold 10 cards at the craft fair but most of those were the 2 pocket cards with teabags in, that could easily be made with hot chocolate x

How about snowman soup... http://www.essentialpackagingstore.com/projects/snowmansoup.php

Polly thanks for the information, I'll make a note of that and hopefully be able to enter the challenge!
Craftygranny if he finds some I'll make sure I send you all one:rotfl:good idea about adapting the pocket card!
My snowmen soup didn't go well at all last year I won't be making them this year! Even though I made a lovely tag with instructions people just couldn't grasp the concept, well you live and learn! I know in other areas they've been really popular though!
Rainmac your stitched card is gorgeous, where do you find the time?!
Flourgirl thanks for posting the twinnings tea pic, we'll all be off to Aldi this week on a teabag hunt!
Right I've really got to get on with my ironing now while DS is having a little nap!
