Sarah - your makes are fabulous. How do you make the lattice boards, they are fabulous and your pots of gold are expensive looking

Esmer - Really do you think so? I was so worried they looked naff.

The lattice notice boards were made after watching this tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBXjouXto7k most say to sew buttons on but I hot glued some embellishments I had which tied in with the colour/theme.

The pots of gold were quite cheap the glass jars were from poundland ages ago and have just some gold tissue paper in the bottom, then layered with 7 fererro rocher and 2 bags of chocolate coins, you can do them cheaper but i know my recipients like these plus of course a £1 scratch card.

esmer

seriously they all look fantastic! I would really appreciate those gifts.

Thank you, it nice to know I probably haven't wasted all my time for these

esmer

Think I will have to do those next year. You should do a tutorial on them never seen anyone on here making them. Great idea!!

lush makes everyone, as usual:T

everyone will be over the moon with those Sarah!!


i have been doing all the little bits and pieces, made my retro sweetie boxes, pots of gold etc (using the pots of gold as placenames)

hmmmmmmmmm

i made some snowman poop, with those cadbury white snowball sweeties?? with the choc inside
friends wee boy is 6, nice little lad

i went to give him one, and his mum said i would rather you didnt:(

strange, he is allowed sweeties, and it is chrstmassy after all

the reason?

we are not encouraging him to talk about poop

she is his mum i suppose, i just felt it a bit
so i made him some snowballs instead
