Well I have tried to find those mini candy canes Hollie found but have not managed to find them at all Will give it another go this week and if not I will have to give up the search I think as I am doing my xmas sweet design by the end of the week. I have however got some fab christmas 'coloured' sweets

I am doing my first craft fair in 7 days EEK! Scary! So went to country baskets today and bolught some great things, I am so excited to get them packaged up with sweeties this week! I also thought of all you ladies with your Reindeer poop/noses/food etc as they have Reindeer head embelishments for cards which are so cute. They are cute large, maybe 1.5in, and you get 5 or 6 for 1.20 I think it was. I got one pack but am not on my laptop to uploaded a pic for you to see.

Could anyone who has done a candy bouquet give me some advice please . I am going to give it a go making one. They sell cellophane by the roll in country baskets but I didnt fancy buying a whole roll and spending £12 for an experiment. How much cellophane would you estimate one bouquet like the Lindt one shown earlier in the thread uses? I think I will buy a smaller amount off ebay first to try it out so dont want to buy too little!

giggles, i got a roll of cellophane in hobbycraft for 2.99 or 3.99 and i think it has about 20m on it

Giggles, I have bought cellophane from my local florists before. Just ask and they might sell you a few metres.

Giggles_Fairy

ah fab ladies I knew you would all have the answers

Great makes everyone all I have done today is list stuff on ebay thought I would take advantage of the free listing day but feel to tired to do anything else now

Giggles just watch the prices in the florists mine wanted £1.00 a metre for cellophane I can get 5 metres for under £2.00 on ebay.
