Fabulous projects:j
I used a couple of old foam pillows to restuff my son's bean bag and our inside door came from a friend's refurb. It was too short and covered in dog bite marks but once we'd sanded it and OH had stuck a new bit of wood to the base it was a good as new. She was going to take it up the tip!

It's really about what is best for you. I tried various methods before going along with oneproudmomma's template. There are more curved styles you can copy but although they look good I found them terribly impractical.0

Thanks for that MinnieMaus - they do look interesting and could save a small fortune too
Although I must say I have just looked at the snacks link and now Im debating recycling my rice krispies into her marshmallow crispie bars that resemble a certain brand my son is quite fond of and would probably be much cheaper and easier to make! not to mention with less sugar probably!
