  • I would love to see pics of the paper wreaths you have made :) The pics are my favourite bit of this thread. I am currently waiting on 500 tiny jingle bells to make some heart shapes decorations with (threading them on to wire), and some mdf blanks/decopatch papers etc to make some santa stop here signs that I have designed.

  • thats very pretty:T

    i made a rag wreath a couple of weeks before christmas
    that was an easy way to spend an afternoon and raiding supplies
    luckily i had 2 wire (naked) wreath rings waiting to be used:D
    i still have one left!

    black & white
    i just got 500 tiny bells (so i am wondering if they are the same)
    mines really were V tiny
    yesterday i strung all 500 to see how much space they would take up, they would be ideal for small hearts but i would guess, and it is only a guess, you would get 3 x 3" hearts from them

    i'll take a pic when its lighter her this morning
    mine are just all strung on double strength fishing line just now
    i wanted to see how easy it would be to get them to sit

    i just got a bell heart in lakeland sale, but i would say its about 6"? bells are bigger too

    Where are you getting your bells from, EBay?
