  • Hi,
    with the pringles boxes you can cover them with cotton wool to make them look like a snowman (you could also fill them up with sweets if you wanna) or make them look like xmas trees with green and brown felt.
    Toilet rolls - again you can do the same as the pringles boxes or make your own xmas crackers
    wooden pegs - put them on nice xmasy ribbon (or gingham) and you can sell them as xmas cards pegs.
    tea bags - hm, no idea, sorry. but i'm sure some of the very lovely & crafty ladies on here will be able to help you out.
    HTH
    good luck with the fair

    The lovely Rainmac from this forum made some beautiful things with Teabags and also pegs.

    Teabagd can be found here on her blog

    Pegs can be found here on her blog

    Also as Giggle posted forget the toilet rolls as they are classed as unsafe in schools due to the germs etc! It may all seem innocent enough but who knows what could happen!!

    The t bags - I have added into a blank card and written this poem:

    Although the miles divide us,
    It's easier to be,
    Together in our thinking,
    As we make a cup of tea,
    So lets both put the kettle on,
    And make ourselves a brew,
    And while you drink and think of me,
    I'll drink and think of you.

  • The pringles tubs could be decorated and be used for pen pots, a pot for pins and the likes. Or for sweets. A small gift box?

    Sorry I'm not much use.
