Last year the flannel reindeer were popular, so thought I'd make some more, but having difficulties finding brown flannels.
Last week Wilkinsons had the pale brown, but no dark, this week they didn't have any. On the shelf, Primark say their packs are 4 flannels for £2, but in fact the bundles only have 3 in, which is a bit cheeky. Asda didn't seem to have any flannels at all.

Struggling with where to put these, but decided on here, as they would make great presents....

Itches & aches bath salts.

1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup dry milk powder
1 cup Epson salt
1 cup sea salt

Mix all together, and store in a pretty jar, wrap some ribbon with instructions round neck of jar. If u use big jars, u could tie a spoon or small scoop aswell


Soap crayons

1 cup soap flakes
Food colouring
2 tablespoons hot water
Molds,
Small bowls
Large bowl

Mix flakes & hot water, stirring constantly, will be thick and hard to stir.
Spoon some into smaller bowls add food colouring , stir until like thick paste.
Press into molds, leave in dry place to harden, can take up to a week.
When dry, remove from mold and leave to dry for a few more days before using/wrapping.

Should make approx 20 crayons , but if ur using smaller molds will get more.
