    Large mallow type sweets work best as they don't break.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    My friend pierced flying saucers, mallows and those coloured liquoice (sp) ribbons folded up.
    You mean the saute stick ones? I think about 12 sweets fit on.

    These are a great idea, going to do some of them for my parents' stockings :) It might be a daft question but where do you buy the cellophane bags/covers for them? Or would you cut a piece from a roll (I have some xmas cellophane in) and sellotape the edges?

    Thanks :)
  • Thanks shimmigirl i didnt see ut comment yday. I think Asda still do the foamy fruit :D Rubyroo see if u put pretzel cello bags into ebay u should get some. i got some cone shape cello bags for snowman soup am gona see if it would look okay in one of them but if not ill get some pretzel cello bags :) xx
