Id like to have a go at making snowman poop. I would be making around 60. Where do people buy their choc raisins from. My local market sells them for 70p Quarter is this about right or can i get them alot cheaper, 60 bags would probably work out to much for me. (token presents)

Hi everyone.

Looking to make one of these and I was wondering if something like this would do for the base to stick the flowers on to?


Thanks in advance:D

it would do, but it depends on what glue you use, some will melt polystyrene
and it may not be very robust
you can get wire rings, then you can wire the flowers and wind it round
(they look like a steering wheel, with 2 rounds, and spokes between them
may be a lot more durable than polystyrene

evening. Had my first craft fair of the season today and did very well. was a bit worried no-one would come as it's horrid weather up here.
best sellers snowman soup (sold 30), magnetic peg sets, tissue covers, angels, beaded snowflakes and keyrings. some people didn't sell anything which is a shame. i'd got tuts from the girl across from me when i had a sale lol! next one is in 3 weeks so better get making.

good luck for the rest having fairs this weekend x

well I had an ok day it was a 6 hour fair, busy at times but overall fairly slow. I found myself falling asleep a couple of times! I took about £85 which isn't much for that many hours, but fairly good given the number of customers

Hi guys
I know there was a bit of discussion about cutting machines a while back - a friend has offered to sell me a little sizzix machine (sidekick) before she puts it on ebay as her OH is buying her a new cutter for Christmas.

She does a lot of fancy flower type cards so mainly uses hers for paper. If you are using standard card stock, is the sidekick any use, or would I be better with something else?

Hi,
im looking at making some tree decoration using wooden shapes for a local school fair, what would be the best paint for them

thanks in advance

Hi chaos weddings I would suggest acrylic paint as its more durable than poster or emulsion and less expensive than enamel

I've got a sidekick and it cuts cardstock fine I use it for felt too
