does anyone have a link to the bah humbug jars? im sure i saw them on here, i was thinking of selling them at a craft fair with other sweets too, does anyone have any idea what other sweeties i could use ... like maybe choc peanuts for reindeer poop? many thanks!! also do you think £2 per jar is an acceptable price? the jars will cost me 50p each to buy.

Could you try this idea..... http://itsallfiddlefart.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/giant-humbug-carton.html

I am trying to find some keys to make the Santa Keys for a craft fair. Does anyone have any idea as to where I can buy the keys from. I have seen some on eBay but not sure if they will be a bit too flimsy for what I want to make

Me again with my searching! I am looking for basic white fairy lights, mains powered. I only need a string of between 20-30 lights as they are for a craft project. The larger amounts of 100+ will be too many lights. Any one seen them around at a cheap price. I don't have time to wait for the Christmas stock to come into the stores.

They are usually in all the supermarkets and poundshops for a pound for the basic white lights x

Does anyone have any ideas for novelty gifts for men? We did the 'pint of socks' last year (sold 24 of them) but need something different to try this year. I have searched online but haven't come up with anything as easy as the pint of socks.

I ended up making my beautiful goddaughter a ballet barre in the end. I wanted to get her the Bella Ballerina set but it was £80 and although I love her I'm on maternity and poor. I'm quite proud of the end result (if you compare it the bella ballerina one) however if you didn't know what it was you could be forgiven for thinking its a horses highjump or a clothes horse


Today has been spent making my son a hungry caterpillar outfit for his first birthday party invites (so I can take photos of him looking tres cute - if only he'll wear the hat ) and now I'm on to trialling hand puppets - yikes I'm in a creative mood...

Found this idea whilst scanning pinterest (:heart2:pinterest!) for general christmas making:



Made using a gingerbread man cookie cutter upside down. Clever eh?
