    I did pots of love a couple of years ago, which originally started as a pot of gold! I know a few other people then went on to make them aswell

    For some reason I don't have a wrapped picture but it looked even better wrapped and with a nice big bow on it!

  • these look fab guys!!

    might be a silly question....but see the wee tags at tops of bags that say bee mine and the bear hugs ones....how are they made? 0r where are they bought?? I've seen them on several things now and they are really really pretty and make it look very professional!! I wondered if it was dies bought for certain machines or anything. I have a sizzix machine but any replies would be appreciated :)

    Happy crafting everyone x

    I think they are Spellbinders nestabilities. Does your sixxix take those?

    I use spellbinders nestabilities labels eight in the cuttlebug to do mine . Sizzix machine will take these dies unless it's only one of those little sidekicks, they are pricey though and addictive once you have a set you find you want them all and there are loads.

    Helen did a tutorial on the crafting for xmas thread on doing bag toppers without all the pricey tools . it's here
