Gorgeous tin rainmac, no whittards near here anywhere - do they have online??

They do but what they sell online is limited and postage is :eek:

Rainmac, it could well be the thickness or rather lack of thickness on the cellophane and also the weight? some papers/thicknesses tend to go through easier? Can you fold it up a bit and see if that helps?

Fantastic hampers as always, love the whittard tin! looks fab .. my address is 31 co....

Well done to everyone making hampers, they look great! Sophiesmum that gardening one you have done is fantastic and looks jam packed!!!

Didn't think of that, I shoved a couple of sheets through at the same time. It went through the shredder ok but didn't shred, it sort of left dotted lines all down the cello . Maybe one sheet would be ok, going to try that! Thanks Rusty

My local florist picked me up a huge roll last year from her cash and carry place it was about £17 but will last me years. Everyone seems to use flowerhour on e bay sure they will probably have the spaghetti one there too it seems to be quite common. Good luck
