kitschkitty they are not for sale, they are for my grandaughter (7) to put in the goody bags for her friends. If I was selling them I would put a red warning label on "Not suitable for Children under 5 unless supervised". Anything sold would be correctly labelled ie NUTS, Vegetarian, Vegan, Soya etc or the age suitability. It is something we should all consider when selling to the public.

It's great to hear/know/be reminded that lots of the posters here already remember to do this anyway.

Just thinking as this is a really (fab) busy thread with lots of crafting newcomers (some new to selling) it was worth mentioning anyway, and with so many pages it's worth repeating ourselves even if it has been mentioned earlier in the thread, eh!

well "Bah Humbug" is a well known phrase from "A Christmas Carol" so what about Tiny Tim's Walking Sticks? I am sure someone can think of a catchy title or poem to go on the bag/box?

Brilliant idea, OH absolutly loves that film - to the point where he will get the dvd out on 1st Decmeber and probably watch it 20 times throughout the month - so will have to use this idea and do some Tiny Tim Walking Sticks for him!

Hi all.............such brilliant makes from you...............sorry, can't remember now who's done what.........lol

Can anyone tell me which page the picture of the washing up kebab was on ? It was one of those I forgot to save and was thinking of doing a few as ''joke'' pressies for some of the menfolk.

Remaining placemat still waiting to be covered and transformed into kitchen organiser. Was all set and hadn't any decent paper the right size:( I'll get some tomorrow and that'll be done for young girl who cleans for me.
Been wrapping stuff up today and think I'll need gift bags for some of the men - what they've got won't fit in a shoe box(can't get the lid on.......lol) and don't think they'd appreciate a wicker basket somehow.:)

Mary - the post number for the kebabs is 1819 - not sure what page.

Oh my life ..... it takes me ages now to catch up with this thread now it moves so quickly!!!

To be honest I haven't had much time to post as I must have sent out at least 50 humbug and 50 snowman soup files out so far ....!!! But its so great that everyone is being so crafty xxxx


Washing Up Kebabs!



This is an idea ...... not my own I got it from this Fairy Liquid ad (below)



I used a bamboo kebab skewer on mine, but I think the metal skewer in the add looks better.

I went to Poundland and bought an assortment of washing up stuff, brillo pads, etc

Might be something that could sell at a Christmas Fayre ..... cleverer people than I could think of a really witty name for them

Would be an excellent present for Dads - for after Christmas Dinner!!!!!!!!!!

How about 'After Plates, the After Dinner Hint!':rotfl:

There you go

I am working through this thread backwards, so haven't seen your colage yet, but you can buy "Fixative" spray from any Art Store. It is ecpensive though.

Otherwise you could try whatever varnish or hairsparay you have to hand on newspaper and left other materials from your college to see its effects.

Youre a complete star! Thanks for this - I will see if I can source some. i found a bottle of varnish in the works today but I reckon it will soak the newspaper so I bottled it and left it:o Yep - will defo t.ry some diff ones out
