Hi Maria, the one above was £22 plus £8 postage as it has a few hidden extras. I normally sell the ones above (without the extras inside for £20 + £8 postage or free delivery if local or even collection if local) I really recommend trying to make one as they are really easy and fun to make the normal contents of the one above is socks, sleepsuit, vest, 34 nappies, blanket, muslin square, and teddy. actual cost of the above does vary however it is approx £18 so I only charge the extra couple of quid as profit and also it is there incase I can't source nappies cheap enough etc.

Could someone help me please ... I am trying to fill up 2 tins with crafty bits for children, so far I have
finger puppet kit, and pom pom animals - 50p
Scrape a foil type princess (plastic scraper) 50p
pack of papers/gems etc 50p (too big for tin:( think I can trim them smaller?)
1 x disney princesscup - £1
1 x disney princess egg cup £1 for 2

Ideally I would like to get maybe some playdoh, some paint and a paintbrush and maybe some glue? think I can get it all in? I can take out the egg cup and cup as I plan to do snowman soup for the girls aswell so these can be as extra pressy. I also plan to do a cooking hamper for them to share and have 2 aprons and some supercook bits put away.

Any suggestions? pics so far
papers - can I cut? I have 2 packs of these

Rusty - It looks lovely again :T however you need to put a greater value on your time and charge more! Think the national minimum wage from October is £5.73 or something are you really telling me it takes less than 1 hour to buy all the bits, assemble it, cellophane, box and post it? I know you enjoy it but even so....

Thankyou and I know I should charge more, but there are lots of people who charge a little more and have the same items in them. I sell a lot on ebay so prices need to be kept down as much as possible. Thankyou.... heres a sneak at one for my friends premmy baby (she was born on sat morning 7 weeks early) still need to get a blanket.

Hi Rusty, do they still sell those big boxes of crafty bits in 'The Works'. I bought one when my DD was off with the 'Chicken Pox' to keep her amused.
I am sure it was only 3 or 4 pounds, but there was loads in the box, glitter glue's, pipe cleaners, crepe paper, pom poms, foil shapes (like your gems).
There would be more than enough in 1 box to split between the two tins.

Why not have a go at making your own playdoh ???

Asda are doing craft packs down to £3 that you could perhaps split between them. You could cut the paper in your box above or you could split it then roll it and elastic band it to take up more room;) The Works / Wilkos sell paint and play dough sets down to reasonable prices normally.... Can you fill them up with any items you already have in your personal stash that you are bored of?:p I know you are talking about items as extra presssies but don't get too carried away - I don't know what your budget is but you may find you need that money for other things....

Have a good day - SH
