I came across this this morning and thought it was a great idea to hang on the tree or as a gift tag (although Im not sure if the baubles that split in half are very easy to find? Its an eye spy bauble!

Baker ross sells them ( http://www.bakerross.co.uk/product-Transparent-Hanging-Christmas-Baubles-EX2323.htm ) or ( http://www.bakerross.co.uk/product-Hanging-Glitter-Baubles-EX298.htm). I have been "umming and ahhing" about buying some. I thought they'd be good for putting the bracelets I make in (with some irridescent shredded paper) - or perhaps a pair of socks... but I wondered if it is the sort of thing people would buy?
I also saw Wilkinsons has some "photo" baubles that open up to put a photo in, but you only have half of the bauble to fill (as the other have appears solid behind the photo).

No, that one hasn't been asked . The answer is very carefully or it gets everywhere! With the glue pen carefully draw the bit you want glittered. Put an old magazine page that has been folded in two and opened out underneath your work. Tip the glitter onto the glue, and then tip your work up over the magazine page to get rid of the excess. Gently tap your work with your hand to get rid of all of the excess. The excess glitter that is now on the magazine page can now be tipped (using the fold) back into its pot. Hope thats clear, its a bit tricky without pictures

Fantastic makes over the last few days.

I've finally managed to get some of the clear baubles from Poundland. Can anyone tell me which high street shops I will find fake snow please? I looked in poundland, but they didn't have it.

Thanks
