Thanks for your understanding.

Seth's Gran, those cones remind me of the ones they have in Germany. Some of them are HUGE. Apparently, children are given them full of sweets when they start primary school.

Here were some I found in a department store when we were there on holiday:

And speaking of freebies, I found these fab Halloween treat boxes whilst blog hopping yesterday:



They were print-your-own on an A4 sheet - I printed mine out on thin cardboard. The treat box is small, about 2" square. The images you see around were also on the sheet.

This is what the box looks like on all sides:




Ideal for small sweets, especially for young ones.



This was just one design of 6, all free, from here

Do you know what, I don't think I have any
I have had 2 new compuers since then lol, so they've probably been lost.

Chocolate eclairs were another good one at christmas as they are purple and gold. I used to tape 3 sweets togetehr to make a flower and add them to a stick.

Honestly, please don't worry, we are all nice on here remember :j
I think its great that everyone is generally sharing ideas- it doesn't matter whether your idea involves machinery or not because we're all clever enough on here to bounce ideas off each other and adapt them to our own needs. Thats what's good about this thread, the bouncing of ideas, which leads to another idea, which leads to another etc etc.

So, no more apologising anyone, OK?!!!! :rotfl:

No, you haven't upset anyone, I'm sorry that you thought you had. The way I saw it was that people were caught up in the enthusiasm and I didn't want people to think you couldn't make these without one. You would be excellent in a sales job though.
