THis is my Lily lolly display to go on my craft table next week (kids are already asking if they can 'sample' some for me )

should i cram some more in the spaces and make it look like a proper flower bed or leave it as is?

JakesMum, Beka (RebekahR - shes come to see the bubby) and I say leave as it is, else they will get too cramped and may get squished.
LOVING your lilies though

ZMHoward, you are totally right, i shall leave it alone and keep some spares in my bag just incase people actually DO buy some

I picked these up yesterday while in Home Bargains but noticed they also have them in B&M too.

They were 39p per pack and are milkshake straws. I've never had them myself but you dip them in a glass of milk and suck so the beads melt to make a milkshake drink?

Thought they might be good to make 'fairy' wands or such like with?

[/QUOT
I have just bought these as well, got strawberry and chocolate to make fairy wands and may use the chocolate ones for the boys with banana shaped sweets to make cheeky monkey bags

Well this is what I made this afternoon



16 of them

I know they are not christmassy but they are based on Flying Pig's humbug packet and are made as 'party bags' for my son's friends

great idea
where did you get the card you've used or did you buy it ??

These look fab - I think you have enough there but maybe you could keep some extra and replenish as you sell them!

Not had chance to catch up with all todays posts and apologise if already mentioned but asda had the nice mints you have been using down from £3 to £2, also they had snowball sweets and reindeers noses 2 for £1.50, the snowballs are smaller that the cadburys ones so look more for your money, i also got some bendickts?? chocolate the same shape as the mints, they were a £1

Hello all! I've been browsing through this thread and have to say there is some very talented people on here

I mainly make sock creations (monkeys, monsters etc) and jewellery but I have been inspired by some of the ideas posted on this thread. I have a couple stalls in the next few weeks so will definitely be trying some things out. I have made flannel reindeers in previous years and they have been a big success. Unfortunately I am struggling to find brown/beige flannels so won't be doing them this year.

I have just been "stumbling" and this site came up and I immediately thought of the people on here, who (like me) don't own a die cutting machine.

I hope that they are of use to someone.

Does anyone have a tutorial on the reindeer flannels?? im trying to think of things my older mindees can make for their parents, in the past we have made crackers using flannels and tubes and filled with smellies but some of them have done these a couple of times now

Just got back from Morrisons - no flannels whatsoever there, someone had said they'd managed to get some but not even a place on the shelf for them in my local one. I managed to get ES mints Milk choc BOGOF for £3.69 so that was cheap.
