  • Hi I made these using a pack of socks from Matalan (7 for £6) and their cotton facecloths are 2 for £1. Put in a pint glass (I actually used a hi-ball glass £3 for 6) and wrapped in fancy cellophane with a ribbon round. Total cost to make was £2 each plus wrapping, and I sell them for £3.50. I have seen them on sale for more though. HTH.

    Hi, I made some recently for a Craft fair and sold them for £5 :) Lots of people commented on them and even at that price I could have sold more than I took.

    I've just got some more supplies ready to make some for the next school christmas fair. I got black socks for 99p for 3 in our local 99p shop. Pint glasses I got from Asda, 6 for £1.50 :money:and also Asda for the flannels, 3 for £1.50. I was also lucky enough to get a large roll of cellophane from a charity shop for £1 a while back and already have a stash of ribbon to use. HTH. :)
