Mucky they look great! Love the lil pink one on the right. How did you do it?

Sorry in my excitement for being able to post pic's I forgot about the bunny in the picture. I actually found instructions for them here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iuvM0hWkb4

Thank you everyone for everyones kind comments, as I explained these are obviously not my idea but I could not find any instructions for them. This is why I wanted to post instructions for them after I had worked out how to make them. I am making some for friends this christmas including young lads from work who actually think microfibre cloths are brilliant (for their cars) so on to a winner there. When I said they are on internet for £3, thats not me selling.

Hi Looneytunes I did get the cloths on Amazon £2 for 6 about 2 weeks ago but they have now gone up to £4.19 with free postage. They measure 30cm x 40cm. I have not tried to make them with flannels yet.

With the Poem
On Christmas Day
At half past three

I'll think of you
You think of me
underneath the Christmas tree

Each Slider comes with 1 tea bag inside

hi, i'm doing letters from santa for our ptfa this year, and am wanting to put some reindeer dust in. last year, i got some bran (smaller than porridge oats?) from tesco, and glitter and mixed together and put in a bag with a rhyme on it. That was for 30 kids so wasnt too bad -this will be for around 150 kids so need to keep costs down!! has anyone any recommendations of where to buy glitter - and do you put a little or alot in? thanks,

I dont put glitter in as its not biodegradable and if kids put it out on the grass its not supposed to be good for the birds - dont know if this is right (maybe too PC??) but I put in the sugar strands instead for that reason. It is very easy to buy bigger bags of porridge cheaper - own brand saver versions

to be honest, i just use cake decs instead of edible glitter as it is so expensive. i tend to mix coloured sugar strands, oats and that coloured sugar you can get - buy a few pots of different and make a mix, B and M always do cheap cake toppings, that's where I get them.
