    You also need to be careful when using soap and beauty products, as you have to be able to trace back everything that is in them, all the ingredients and such like, plus you have to be careful with the labelling and packaging, this is something that Trading Standards will be looking for.

    I do a lot of arty crafty stuff, but I get a lot of my materials free because I use anything which is generally classed as rubbish. I started off with cards, now I make a lot of bags. Some materials I get from Hull Scrapstore, very cheap, or I look in charity shops.

    It depends what you are interested in. You can get wool and fabric from charity shops. You can use your own clothing and cut it up, peg rugs out of teeshirts. You can make things with jars and tin cans, I made some bags out of cat food pouches. The only limitations is your own imagination.
