i feel like i am stalking you mary:o

the dress is 2 pieces of wide ribbon
a cupcake one and a gingerbread one just sewn together
i put the lace over her shoulders first and stitched in place

its a grosgrain ribbon and it frayed really easily though:(

This is fab well done! How did you make it? Can you eat the sweets afterwards?

Loving the gingerbread men! I'm thinking of making a few handmade Christmas decorations this year to give to friends - a token to remember friends around the festive times. I've got some cross-stitch patterns for Christmas decs too which I shall probably have a go at. Thanks for the inspiration to begin!

I'm a bit of a fan of Martha Stewart, and I love this bootie garland, put it on my list of "makes" to decorate my bannister.

thats lovely, but once you look at the how to, they seem quite big
i think i would make them a bit smaller, maybe to fit a funsize bar of choccy, i have small silver pegs, i wonder if they would hold them onto the ribbon or not:o

midnight -who's stalking who??..................lol:rotfl:
You could try your little pegs out to see if they're strong enough, if not, cover the normal size pegs christmassy and they'd do it.

Really wanted to have a go at gingerbread people and have't got enough of the right colour felt :eek: Don't you just hate it when that happens.....!
But they're a ''definite'' on my Must Do list:)

They're really quite simple to make. Yes the sweets can be eaten afterwards. Link to how they're made:
