    Got to say I am loving these.

    Think they would be really effective if you made them and sold them at school craft fairs and they seem easy enough that if you did make some name ones and you had a rare or unusual name that they are easy that you could 'whip' one up there and then provided they gave the glue drying time for you.

    My friend has the dummy hodlers with names on too. I love them - think this is going to be another Christmas craft for me for little token gifts!
    Time to find me again

    Hi - they arrived 2 days ago, they are great, definitely the A-Class quality and not a greyish white like the first lot I bought :)

    I didn't bother in the end - I just doubled over the ribbon to push the last couple of beads into place then used some strong glue on the last one to hold it in place. Much easier :)

    Wow!! Great find! Is that the same as Wilkinsons or is it different? (Sorry for being thick, Ive never heard of either and when I googled to see where nearest one is to me, it came up with Wilkinsons) :o

    Edit: If it is, they dont appear to have any stores in Scotland. :(

    Anyone do special requests?? I want 2 as OH says I should just buy them instead of ending up with beads galore ... I want lobster clips on them though like this ..... HERE and they have to be extra safe as one would be for my DD who is nearly 3.

    PM me if anyone can help :)
