Thought I'd revive this thread as there are loads of handmade ideas that people might like to make for Christmas this year.

Thought this would be the best place to post?

I saw a link on here to the cellophane wrapping for hampers etc, I ordered some at £1.60 delivered for 2 metres (just plain).

But, I have just got back from Lidl and they have loads and loads of cellophane film in both clear and lots of different christmas designs. The clear comes in 10m roles and the christmassy ones come with 5m per roll. Cost just 99p each!!

I picked up a couple as I plan to make a couple of hampers over the next week or two. Hope this helps someone

I managed to get my flavoured vodka done, now i just have to label them all and put ribbon round them and wrap them...but they look so pretty in the kitchen! :beer:

Hi, my dad and I are being 'reindeer' (www.postpals.co.uk/news.php) to 2 families with a poorly child (one little boy is waiting for a new heart and another has a serious immune system problem), we were thinkingit would be funny for rudolph to send some of his red noses i've seen people make but my mum won't want to trail around the shops trying to find red round sweets!

If anyone is selling reindeer/rudolph noses this year please pm me/reply with how much your selling them for and if poss a pic.

Thanks,

Hi punkpink, what bottles did you use for the flavoured vodka? TIA
