hey everyone, i have agreed to make 100 reindeer food for the school xmas fair and now cant remember what i put in it last year or what the tags said, as i need to make 100 it needs to be as money saving as possible i have ribbon and thought i could use value sandwich bags as that much celophane would be really expensive
can anyone jog my memory please

remember that glitter is harmful for birds and other animals that are likely to eat the oats!
You can use coloured sugar crystals or ediible glitter or even hundreds and thousands which are all a safer alternative for animals!Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -

Hi Maria, I have made some using cheapie oats and coloured sugar crystals. I coloured the sugar with red and green food colouring and it worked really well.:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0

I coloured sugar with red food colouring too and it looks good, you don't need a lot. I use tesco value oats, a big bag is really cheap. I have used left over cones from my snowman soup but last year I just used value sandwich bags and it was fine.Slimming World - 3 stone 8 1/2lbs in 7 months and now at target :j0

When you say sugar crystals do you just mean normal granulated sugar? or did you buy something specific?
Thanks
