    I vote for fanned out too but they are both fantastic. I love the mugs Shellybee, what a bargain too.

    All these hampers look fantastic!!:T

    I went to a florist today and asked for some plain cellophane ... was told £1/mtr .... now, is that normal or am I just a tight (_|_) :o:confused:


    I went to birthdays the card shop and got 2 1/2 meters for £1 also another card shop i go to sells 2m rolls for £1. Partners also do it....id look around or get it off ebay if you are doing lots.
  • this might sound daft but- when hampers are done and they are cellophaned how do u secure it at the top ??? do you just use ribbon or do you use something else under the ribbon and bows??? just so i know :-) any help appreciated!!!!! and where is the cheapest and best place to get nice bows???
