I bought a set of magna beads (some are magnetic) from Instore for about £1.29 - they are gorgeous RRP £4, and Wilkos near me are/were selling magna beads 2 sets for £4 a few weeks ago.... if that's any help. I really like them.... they are aimed at kiddies tho.:pkr15snw the jewelery making set sounds like a good idea.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I can as cookie is a hardcore basket maker!!!:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -
With mine I gather it all up above the pressie and secure it with a rubber band or clip-it clip (not sure if that's what they are called!) and then faff around with the sides and some selotape to make sure they are covered. It is do-able but can take a bit of time. Once I'm happy with the sides I tie the ribbon and get rid of the band/clip. The selotape doesn't really show either.Right I wrapped my nappy cake last night and it didnt really go to plan....
I found that I had enough length to wrap it but obviously the celophane was not wide enough to bring it up to the top. But I didnt know what to do with it! I ended up cutting alot off so that I could wrap the side around and tape it up at the back. But Im not overly happy with this!
Need more tips on the wrapping malarky
Hope that helps!:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -

oooh I'd never thought of using one of those clip it things to hold it all in place. that sounds a good idea, will try it next time
