If you want to make polar bears etc that last forever instead of only 1 christmas then you could always get FIMO clay from places like Hobbycraft
It bakes in the oven and will literately last forever! I think I still have a name thingy for my door somewhere that my mum made for me... am thinking of doing one for my daughter for christmas this year although she's only 7 months lol DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!

This is our 1st ever door wreath and it's homemade:D
it cost 50p for a wire ring from the florist,free clippings from the garden & a friends garden,pine cones from the potpourri which I sprayed silver ( spray from the 99p store) wire & ribbon i already had
I love it!! & keep opening the door to look at it :rotfl:

that looks great well done

I've been crafting for years and got some new ideas from this show. I do it a lot cheaper than Kirsty though!
What got me though was that none of the links from channel 4 website on where to learn stuff such as glass blowing really lead anywhere and some of them are really out of date or only for things in the very south.
I've been looking for a couple of workshops to go on with money saved from giving up smoking and to give me more inspiration for future home made presents.:hello:On mortgage pay off countdown. Less than 8 years to go. :j Won £50 Amazon voucher for filling in a survey, £100 shopping voucher, £20 Odeon voucher, £20 bowling voucher :T Doing a £2 terramundi jar challenge but everyone else seems to have the same challenge as there don't seem to be many £2 coins around!:p0 -
