sure someone can give you better answer than me, but made a candy bouquet for my bil birthday- he loves choc and has hayfever so seemed perfect :-) I simply bought wooden kebab sticks (about 50p for pack) and a bag of treatsize choc bars. threaded one bar onto each stick (stuck some on with tape) I then wrapped with celophane left from a bunch of flowers I had been given. He got lots of positive comments as we walked around town. You can make them more fancy though :-) lots of pics online if you google them :-) hope that helps a bit x

thanks tq16, i really appreciate it. i'll have a go at it

susan 42, pleased you made some jam. I want to make some chutney, 2 problems really, i've no jam jars and the ones si've seen in the shops are quite expensive, also i've never made it so i'm looking for a recipe as we speak , don't know why i've no jars lol !

Thanks Ladies for filling me in on pots of snow
You're all so clever and creative! There are so many ideas I want to have a go at them all but dont think I'll be able to remember them. Might have to go back through and book mark all the ideas and the links to how to do them! Should have staretd this earlier

Gemmy -thanks for that link. Like the idea of the mosaic kit...........did make a little coaster at the seaside once and loved doing it.
Shame I can't order on line though.........our nearest Lidl is 20 miles away;)
