I think someone said they just about fit - you have to ease them in slowly!! Whether they come out again is another thing lol!!!

:jWoohoo! :j £3200 raised for the pta at the winter fair yesterday :j

not all by the homemade stall I hasten to add but we made a significant contribution

Wow that's really good dawnteabag. We have got ours next Sunday and I just have some more snowman soup and tea bag cards to make. I have farmed out the Reindeer food, having made up the bags so someone just needs to fill them

Might be an ideal to put this info on your first post then we can direct people back to it easily as you seem to be asked this alot by myself included!!!!:rotfl:

I ordered my scallop punch from JDG Crafts on Thursday so I am hoping it will arrive tomorrow. I also ordered some red Stickles as at £1.43 a bottle, it's a bargain!!! I ordered a small sizzix wedding cake die also that was cheaper than it was on ebay!!!!

I have my ES mints unopened waiting for my punch to arrive!!! I cannot open them else I will start to eat them. I have not been able to get the milk choc ones anywhere on offer so just have dark orange and mint ones. Anyone else managed to get the milk ones cheap??

I got the milk chocolate ones from asda for £2 a box - not sure how much of a bargain that is though

Not bad at all around 7p each mint so that would be fine. Will have to persuade someone to take me to Asda now!!! Thanks!!

Mine are fine, though a "comfy" squeeze!! I only put the scalloped shape on the front, putting the round one on the back...maybe that makes a difference.

As I too can't find the milk choc ES, I have been using chocolate pennies...two stuck together with DST, a small one and a large one. As I got them from Superdrug a month ago on BOGOF, they work out about the same as the ES mints. They look quite good methinks...and fit in the bags..just!!!

The pair on the left are the choc. pennies and those on the right are ES mints, showing fronts and backs in both cases. I think I might add glitter to the ES ones, as they look a bit plain....oooh now where's my glitter and glue!!!!

Have a good crafting Sunday...DH has gone to get some underlay, so he can get the "new" carpet down in DS2's room...it's all go here atm!!

Thanks for that - I was trying with both sides scalloped shape - will have a go after lunch

I found cany canes in Home bargains for 79p a box of 12

Just a thought...my punches are the 1 3/4" scallop and 1 3/8" round SU punches...perhaps other ones are just a little bit too big for these bags??
