Thats very pretty giggle do you have instructions on how to make the towel bit or is it all justrolled up and held together with a band? (want to do one for my mother, never attempted this before)

Oh and thank you for the shiny new thread

Giggle

I just rolled mine and put some ribbon around it

oh yay i'm glad this thread his here :j

That one is very pretty, i too was going to ask how it was done

I'm making 4 this year, a character one for each of my daughters (but using fleece blankets instead of towels) and a mickey bathtime one for my nephew, with a hooded towel, bubble bath, bath toys, pyjamas & a mickey teddy and not sure what else yet

Thanks for starting a new thread i too have quite a few this year so the impulse gift sets 87p 3 for 2 offers will come in handy and also the tesco towels which i managed to get quite a few. I have also got some hello kitty ones to do i like my3girls will be using the fleece blanket for the bottom and a co-ordinating towel at the top filled with hello kitty toiletries from h & B which i have collected throughout the year, will post pictures as soon as i have done them.

wendall its 2 hello kitty ones i want to do too - ive got one blanket and a beanie for the top and,erm, thats it lol

what sort of kitty things did you get from home bargains, is that where you got the towel from too? I take it you're doing a double tier one? Only kitty toiletries i've seen are from boots and they are quite expensive. I also got those bandz from the grabbit thread to put in.

got to do a peppa one for dd3 too and can't find cheap peppa things at all

Im back again, do we think I could make one of these with one of those hair towels rather than a real towel? its only mum has loads of towels and might not appreciate that bit so much . . . if not what else could I use? . . . . shes not really a slanket/blanket type of woman

Wooo! new thread lol, I recently made a cake for the macmillan coffee morning. (i cant remember for the life of me how to upload pics!)

I had posted on the other thread, not towel cakes but flannel cakes and wondered if anyone knows where to get food shaped soaps like fruit and biscuits?

Giggle, how did you do you cones, they look adorable! x
