i LOVE the shadow boxes (especially the one with the red music sheet behind them)

they could get costly,
shadow boxes arent cheap, nor are bells, i buy mine form China, the small ones are fine, but they do get £££ the bigger size you go

i think this is something i shall make for us instead:D
thanks seths gran

i really like that!

Been out and about today and looked for the shadow boxes but no luck yet. I know ikea have them for about £3.50 and Wilkinsons are a similar price. There weren't any in the pound shop but will check out B&M next week. I have been looking also for the bells. I figure they won't take me long to make so I have approx 11 months to search out a bargain, there will be one somewhere!

£3.50 isnt bad, i was expecting them to be more

now who can i bribe to go to Ikea for me:rotfl:

its not my favourite place to go

Was just wondering are you making the shadow boxes with bells to sell or for yourselves? how much would they sell for?? They look so simple but so effective I am really liking them!!

I've spent the afternoon watching you tube videos on making different things! I love being crafty! I am hoping this year to get some good inspiration and make some things that I can make for gifts at christmas or sell on at maybe a couple of craft fairs xx

Im so starting in the new year, I just ran out of time with the unexpected commitments I found myself with in October. Ive been sewing a few felt things so I thought I might expand on that this year. The reindeer chocolate bars were a hit at school though. Does anyone have a good source of felt? Ive been getting mine from ebay as its the cheapest but tis just not the best sewing quality.

I think this lady's wool blend felt looks lovely, she has a huge choice of colours http://www.thefeltfairy.com/page5.htm you can get 20 9" squares for £11 with free delivery - I'm in the middle of choosing colours to order, the trouble is I want them all!

I'm nothing to do with the company but I am obsessed with felt!!

for the frames - do you think small shiny tree baubles would be as effective as am sure there will be lots in the sales just now.
