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

I've just ordered these tonight. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130455412052#ht_1493wt_905http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130455412052#ht_1493wt_905

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

Being completely nosey how much has it cost you to make and what will you sell it for?

Fingers crossed. Am taking mine to toddler group tomorrow, I have a box full of stuff :eek:

Actually just been sitting here costing stuff and the ES mints are sooooo not worth the effort. If I factor in everything from the embellishments to the chocs I am making about 35p per pack. That really doesn't reflect the amount of time spent putting them together. Getting them in the ruddy pretzel bag takes long enough

looool, thats not nosey umm working it out:

plasitc holder = 29p
oasis foam block = £1.79 (can get 6 blocks out of it)
greenery = £1 (is acutally a tesco value wreath cut up)
beads = £1 (from £1land enough for 2 decorations)
pine cones = £1 (from £land enough for a good 4 - 5 decorations)
green spikey things to stick in the oasis = £1.50 i think (loads in there!)
paper was free as my mum works for a paper company and they give me all their offcuts for free

so its cost me roughly £2.04 to make it, im going to try for about £7.50 for it and see how I get on

OK those of you who use Picnik how do you create a label without using your own pictures??? I've had a look just and I can't see how to use it.
<sigh> I am soooooo useless when it comes to 'puters and websites

Guys don't let the many options on picnik confuse you. I followed a tutorial the first time i used it as i'm really tecnically challenged!!. The link to the tutorial is on my blog but i'm not allowed to put my blog details in this post (sorry Mrs T i didn't know that before you told me:o). You can click on my profile and get to my blog from there though.

but i'll try and give some easy instructions (be warned i'm rubbish at this!!)
1)click on college tab once you have entered the website
2)Now this next bit is a bit of a guess to me but basically leave the 4 square grid on the page if you want a label or tag or maybe click on the 2 squares on the basic option from the left of the screen if you want a topper.
3)on the left where you have differnet options like basic,spacing etc click on the square next to the spacing bar which will then let you change the colour of your item.
4)Then click on done which is one of the tabs on the right hand side of the screen
5)then click on sticker tab to chose pics for your design and text to add text etc. this is the point where you play around
6)when you are happy with what you have done choose the save and share tab to the right hand side at the top of the screen. This lets you save it to your pc and then you can insert it into word as a picture and stretch it etc and print it off.

Those instructions are probably as clear as mud so if you are still stuck have a look at the tutorial link on my blog or just send me a message:D

See dizzytina's instructions & link on her blog.

I have made this tonight (will be the first of many!).

I saw the idea on a thread somewhere, and have seen them across the likes of 'organized christmas', etc. I bought a box of 30 gingerbread men for 99p today and set to:
