To be honest you could use any sort of combination of charms for your braclets

I have used red waxed cotton for mine

I've bought the charms from Ang's Attic ..... the other links are just examples.

I have bought Charms from China - via e-bay as they are so much cheaper and take about 2 weeks to come.

Hope this is of help to you

For the poster wanting to know about black/white gel pens. I got a few of wilkos own which are 30 something pence and they are fab! I went to my local market today, ace is not in it for the crafty stall which is there. I'm worried I'm spending more than what I will make. But kind of loving it all so not that fussed and it isnt tons, just a few quid!

Could anyone recommend what is the best product to colour in stamps? I'd like to have a go but am overwhelmed by the choices!

I was wondering about water colour pencils?

Evening crafters.
Have had a productive evening.
Made and decorated 10 sour cream containers to package my Magnetic Bookmarks.
Printed out a poem I wrote about the bookmarks.
Printed out labels with Perfect Man poem for my Gingerbread Men.
Packaged my SS present ready for a swap.
Finished off my Flannel Cupcakes (used Chuppa lollies as the cherry on the top)

Not up to the high standards of you ladies on here - but I'm pleased with them. Just hope the recipients are

wow this thread moves so fast I have trouble keeping up! I am off to a fair tomorrow, its a christmas one so Im hoping everyone will be in the spirit I did my first ever one a couple of weeks back but it didnt go very well,. but to be honest I wasnt the right product for the fair it was very much 'true' crafts and vintage clothing and jewellery, so my sweets didnt quite have the right peopel through the doors. Plus it was october so most people still refuse to think about Christmas (silly people why arent they excited all year like us? haha) but I am glad I did it as I learned alot! The fair tomorrow is a christmas fair so Im hoping this will go better, plus people do start to think of buying for christmas now so hopefully I can capture my market

Not sure what other people charge for their sock monkeys but I charge £8 for mine. For the Bah Humbugs I suppose it depends on how many humbugs you are putting in them. I have made them quite small like the old Calypso lolly size and put in 5 humbugs as it just a novelty stocking filler and I intend to charge 50p for them. Can't help with the soup or poop as not made any!
