errr, i honestly can't remember whether i made 1 or 2 batches the last time i made them so I'm not sure

they are so quick to make though that if you dont feel that you have enough you can always make another lot :beer:

They went down really well when i made them last year

We finally made something!!
Well actually we made two, then I dropped one when I was tieing the bow on and it smashed
This for the kids to give Grandma & Grandad, tricky bit was putting the paper through what I realised was a very small hole when I took the tops off :rotfl:



Thanks Flying Pig!

Anyway, we'll have to get a new bauble for Nanna's............

And these are my beaded stars that I made, Ive put two together to make them a bit fuller.

I can't believe how fast this thread moves! I've been busy and can't keep up with everyone's amazing makes!

I'm doing a craft fair at the local primary school on Friday so have the week off to try and prepare. I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some bag toppers for Reindeer Poop & Food and Snowman Poop that I can print off?

Also, as I don't have a bag sealer, will DST work well at keeping the bags shut and fresh? I was going to use the really strong kind (red back)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you pm me your e-mail address I can send you toppers for Reindeer and snowman poop. For reindeer food I use cello bags with printed sticky labels on them - welcome to them too if any use

I found these in Poundworld over the weekend. You get 18 tags in a packet, 3 of each design.



They are without doubt Forever Friends designs, but not branded as such. I am planning on chopping them up and making my own embellishments for Christmas cards.

Great value!

fantastic find far too nice to be just used as plain tags

Fab tags, wish i could go and get some but the roads are very icy and the schools are closed again

Made the white cards using 3D gift labels bought from Matalan (20 for £1.50)



Sorry pics aren't very good, they're in cello bags so flash tends to reflect

Also made these using the coloured cards I'd bought. Not normally a fan of coloured cards but these turned out really well I think. Trees and background were made using a free printable (but for the life of me I can't remember what site )

Sarah i have a copy of a topper for snowman poop and ruldolph noses on my blog that you can download straight from there. If you scroll down to catergories on the lefthand side and click on xmas then just scroll down until you come to it.

I can't help with the sealing question i'm afraid as i have a sealer so i use that but you could always use selfsealing cellophane bags instead.

Bitsy love your fab cards they are great.:D

Here are a few magnetic peg clips i have made. Its the first time i have tried them and i'm quite chuffed with how they have turned out.

Hi guys, i recently bought these off the grab it board


http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/352963/237824

, unfortunately i the boxes where all damaged, they said i could return them to the store but because of the weather i have been unable to get to town, im now thinking is it easier to take them out of the boxes and wrap them up myself, anyone have any ideas???

Dark chocolate - cheap one works fine
Extra strong mints

Bash up mints to bits
Melt chocolate
Stir mints in - spread on tray or use molds - fridge to set

Yummy after dinner mints - did these for Xmas last year and my folks were very impressed!!!!

Must have a go at these they sound yummy. I have also got some extra strong mints with chilli which I love so may make these ones just for me.
