I need to find the link, but basically they are a joke gift.

Beginner Level is a broken candy cane in a sealed bag with a tooth pick. Instructions are to stick the 2 pieces together.
Advanced Level is a totally smashed cane with the same instructions and I have added
If you start now, you may be finished by next Christmas!:rotfl:

It will appeal to some of my loved ones

I found a website selling them for silly money, and decided to make my own

I was in my local co-op the other day and they have ES mints for £1.75 a box.

If I sprayed hairspray over my finished collage would it be sticky? I need something that wont seep through newsprint - so varnish I think wont do. Can anyone recommend me a strong hairspray that wont be sticky (is there such a thing?)

Hairspray should dry but I guess how close you spray and how much will affect the drying time.

I would perhaps go with a cheap ultra strong hold BUT perhaps test it on something before trying it on your collage?

Been a busy bee today, managed to get loads of orders finished. Just need to work out the postage costs.

Regarding the toppers question I don't have any fancy cutters, just a paper cutter so I measured my cello bags, worked out a size and then cut the toppers and folded them in half. Easy peasy and pretty quick now I know the measurement off by heart:D

Made 10 packs of these yesterday/today. Sorry pic is so small, click on it and should get bigger (I hope )

Anyway better goI have reindeer food to finish.......

Dizzytina - love your makes, really nice

If making for adults you could put 'Caned for being naughty' on them!

Is family bargains where the old Woolies used to be in Broadmead?? Someone said they are part of Instore as they sell the same things, not sure if that's true!
