This is my attempt at christmas tree chocs, i've had to use the big bags rather than the pretzel as I had some precut circles and didnt bother to check they fit in the bag before I made them :cool:

I am seriously thinking of asking the family to all chip in and get me a die-cutter, I would like one that does the boxes as I make my own fudge, tablet etc and would like something to hold these as well as doing labels etc, I really am clueless and I don't even know if there is such a beast on the market, I am planning to do wedding favours next year as well as I done them as well as all the balloons for my sisters wedding and really loved doing it (maybe it was the praise I got that I loved :rotfl:)

Any advice? I don't mind having to put money to it if the family are all willing to chip in together with hubby

I have a big shot and i cricut expression, the big shot is less hassle but does not have the sizing abilities like the cricut, the expession can cut a few from one sheet too although 12x12 card is not that easy or cheap to get, i also have sure cuts alot which means you dont need expensive carts :-)

I dont use mine nearly enough as i should!!!

Can anyone tell me what they use for cello wrapping do you buy them ready done or cut tem yourselves?? im a childminder and planning on having lots for the kids to do afterschool lol, i am so inspired by this whole board, although not sure where the time is coming from :T

I've just got a craft robo to help with cutting boxes etc . Flourgirl has one and uses hers for boxes etc i think too.

:rotfl:I've had a craft robo for the past year and I have yet to figure out how it works

I think the only thing i've managed to cut out was some letters on the stcky back plastic that came with it

I have bought my flannels from Textiles Direct for 59p each. That might be more than some of you are willing to spend but they are 100% egyptian cotton ones

Dizzytina - love your makes - how did you create the labels? Picnik?

It was Bitsy:D For everyone who is struggling with Picnik i put some simple steps on this thread a bit ago or there is a link to a tutorial on my homepage. Failing that feel free to PM me with any particular questions and i'll try and help. If anyone is trying to do a label for milkshake they are welcome to have a copy of mine to use.

Cuddles could i possible ask for a copy of your gingerbread label:D . i'll PM you!

Emmamumof2 Please Please include a Red Warning Label on the back of the Fairy Lights saying what they are and that they need adult supervision. I am not selling mine to the public but putting them in goody bags for my grandaughters friends and I have also included the label. You could also put a label on the box or basket you are using on your sale table.

Good luck with your sale x

Dont worry I had already heeded that warning - Ill print a little self adhesive label and put on the back!
