Rusty - that is lovely :T
What a bargain :shocked: What can anyone get for £4! I think you should charge at least a fiver because when it is all wrapped up in cello it is an eyeful. Plus most people wouldn't be able to make one for a fiver0 -

I do charge £5 on ebay mainly because of the fees etc. I'm not out to charge extortionate prices, I enjoy making them and simply just trying to make a small amount of money to keep me and the family in days out
