    Cottonwoolkatie Where abouts are you? I live in town by asda.

    The punches were about 12.50 each which compares with most big punches but they were about to go up to i think it's 14.25 each but they are very solid . I dropped mine on a concrete floor and it still works perfectly oops.
    The scalloped one doesn't give a size but on my ruler seems to be around 1 3/4 " and the plain one is 1 3/8".

    artydoll -when I made mine the other year I used coffee jars with the gold lids and googled an image of a pot of gold to stick on it.
    Did some in gravy tubs as well.........covered them in either plain gold paper with an image stuck on or paper printed off internet with gold coins on..........hth

    Finished off my friends 'jar of hugs' and thats my bit till I come back from scotland on Monday
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    I have been making these little boxes for my grandaughter to give her friends and will fill them with the mini gingerbreadmen a bit near the time.

    I have made a template of the box if anyone wants a copy just PM your email addy and I will send it to you. It is made from a sheet of A4 card and is so easy. There is another idea for these boxes here a bit more for the grown ups :)

    The Reindeer are a Quickutz die and the Snowman and Santa are stamped and coloured in then glittered.
