Managed to our little sweet shop this afternoon and get all the stuff for DIY snowman..........marshmallows, choc.raisins, sort of bendy strawberry flavoured thing for a scarf (not licourice) flying saucers for hat. Popped them into a cellophane bag with the choc.matchsticks and now its all in a gravy tub I covered with snowman paper.
Good idea that.

we must see pics

some fab ideas on here, so glad someone linked to here on the sewing forum!

I know it aint the best but I cant afford a new die machine just yet, but I picked up this for £5 at my local car boot; along with 6 dies and carry case. So there are some bargains out there

Fantastic sweetie bag Rusty. I love the shape of the die you have used for the label, brilliant tag too. Great stickers and a bargain at 29p per packet.

Thankyou ... the dies are nesties, if you want to borrow them just shout and I will post them down to you xxx

Made up another bag but not took a pic yet ... got bored so did some DT work instead ... just finished a card for halloween but it is DT work so can't post until tomorrow!

Loving everyone ideas thanks so much for sharing. Your bags are fab Rusty and I really like those stickers too.

I thought I'd share my Halloween sweetie bags that I've just made. They are fairly basic but lucky had some spooky sweets at home which I think make them look ok.

OOOOOhhhh i had one of those but red about 5 or 6 years ago. I had hundreds of dies too but got rid of the lot as i had no time to craft when my baby grandaughter was given to me . My husband was pleased though i sold all my craft stuff and raised 3 grand on e bay so i gave it to him to buy us a people carrier. lol.
I do miss the dies sometimes.

Just finished working my way through this whole thread (thanks Tamster120...I think!!!) - oh my...soooo many ideas. I had thought I wouldn't have any time to make some stuff to sell for this Christmas, ...but looks like I might have to have a go!!!!

I have always made things, but usually knitted or sewn (machine, hand and x-stitch)...and long ago lace. I am knitting socks/beanies and gloves for Xmas pressies as well as doing quite a lot of cross stitch, which is eating up my time (apart from this thread this afternoon !!). however, I am going to investigate if I can get a stall at the local school Xmas fair...and perhaps even the playgroup one...they are both in December...so I have some time to make up some of the sweet bags...and other stuff!

I must admit, I had never come across these die-cutter/embossers before, - very dangerous!!! I have bookmarked sooo many pages....must go and sort them out a bit...but not tonight!

Thanks again everyone for all your wonderful ideas...especially to Flyingpig who started this thread...only a few weeks ago!!!!!

Will return tomorrow or at the weekend with some of my ideas/makes...if I get that far !

I have been reading this thread everyday, I love it :j
Lately I have been making lots of things because I have been asked to have a table at the school christmas fete, scary stuff :eek:
My 2 favourite things are the lollypop bouquet and a chocolate one, I will try and add photos!
