Ok this is the latest origami flower table decoration I have made for the craft fair I am doing on 28th November.

Ty, the entire thing takes me about 4 hrs to make but that is mostly because the cream card is very thick so needs alot of work to bend into shape

I have been working on this idea for a couple of days and wasn't really sure about the packaging but I think it looks ok. The poem is my own creation so if you think its naff..... tough... lol.... Its short and sweet and fits the labels The Glowsticks are from Poundland and you get 25 per tube, I have added a piece of card to the pretzel bag just to give a bit of strength and support to the glow sticks. The labels are cut with nesties and the fairy is clip art resized to fit the smallest nestie (about 1.5 inches)

Flourgirl, I think these are brilliant and if its ok I might steal this idea as my niece would absolutely love them (is that ok?)
I just saw these on your blog (im an avid follower )and think they are such a cute idea!! x

jakes-mum - that is stunning, I'm so impressed!

Flourgirl - I love your new makes and your poem is perfect!

Thank you for the advice on the circles, I think it's something I will have to invest in, thanks to all you lovely ladies I will certainly be holding some craft fayres next year!

Please may I say a huge thank you to everybody on this forum for the ideas they have given me for activities for the Girl Guides that I help run.

Then an even bigger thank you for the templates etc that have forwarded on request.

Next year I'm going to plug myself into this site and never leave it and hopefully I will manage to get some items made without a last minute panic.

The charms were from a couple of sellers on e-bay. I already had the “wish” charms, but it took me a little while to think of two other suitable charms to go with them, in the end I decided on snowflakes (£1.50 for 10 plus P&P) and stars (99p for 35 plus P&P), I’ve also got some wishbones on order (from Hong Kong!)

I am sadly lacking in the area of the poet, so this is the best sort of verse/instructions I could come up with, perhaps I should make my own wish ……to become more poetical.

To keep the threads all in place I have stuck them down with small sticky labels and then to give the whole package a professional look I have cut another piece of card the same size to cover the back when put in a cello bag .

To seal the cello bag I have used some snowflakes stickers that I think were free with a craft magazine a couple of Christmas’s ago.

I love these bracelets and was going to make some as gifts for my daughter's friends at school. However, I was wondering where you found the mini bells on the top card? I have been looking for them but have yet to find.

Thank you
