Fab makes Toffeeapple

Great wombat - This was something I sort of made up as I went along I'm afraid. I started off with his face and used rubber bands to hold the shape, if you can see the flannel is folded backwards, I then just worked backwards and after the face and feet were shaped everything else got tucked up underneath for the body. I then added the feet pads and ears.

The flannel is folded in half first, if you see the line up his front legs thats where the two sides meet....

Sorry a really rubbish explanation.:o

Next time I do one I will take photos in stages for you. Need to make 3 more....

Do you think they need eyes? Can't make my mind up?

He's adorable toffeeapple and very clever. I think a small pair of wobbly eyes would just finish him off perfectly

Hi Kiwi

Heres the flavoured coffee, I made a couple of adjustments than the orignal version (added in for this post).

COFFEE MOCHA

Fill tub/jar with Equal parts of instant Coffee and Unsweetend Cocoa Powder (I used Drinking Chocolate) also added coffee whitener - same amount as choc and coffee

CAFE VIENNA

Fill Jar/ Tub with Coffee and add a pinch of Cinnamon

SWISS MOCHA

The same as Coffee Mocha, but maybe use a differnt coffee or Cocoa so the flavor is different - again add whitener to the mix

CAFE VIENNA MIX

4 spoons Coffee
1 spoon Cocoa
1 spoon whitener
Pinch of Cinamon

Keep doing this until Jar/ tub is full

CAFE Au Lait

Equal Parts Coffee & non dairy creamer so half and half.

What we did was measure into a bowl, get a good mix and then put in the jars - allowed a shake as well.


Don't know if its still on offer in Lidl - but we got 100g jar of Red Mountain coffee for £1.00

----
We used
3 jars of coffee
half tub hot choc
500g packet of coffee whitner

From there we've got
500g jar
3 coffee jars
hot choc (200g size jar)

Just got to decant into cello bags nearer the time xx

Hope everyone ok, survived Miss Hoodies Halloween party at the school, must say being on crutches has its advantages, there was a comfy chair all ready for me, just had to sit there and stamp the childrens hands so they could get a hotdog.

He'e gorgeous toffeeapple!

I'm going to have a go at making a few as I bought a load of flannels last year and they are laying around unused and this would make a great use for them!

Not sure if it will turn out as good as yours - any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated!
