Where can I buy cellophane (for hampers)

Hi

I have made my first hamper and want to wrap it in cellophane - where is the best place to buy it on a roll?

I know there are lots of people on here who make lovely hampers, I did a search and saw lots of pics and a recommendation for Lidl cellophane but we don't have a Lidl near here.

Any help appreciated, thank you

    If you don't want to buy a whole roll you can just go to a local florist and they'll sell it to you by the metre. Will be more expensive but not much point buying a whole roll if you don't need to.

  • If you look up cellophane florist wrap on ebay there are a lot of trusted sellers selling rolls for about £4 :)
