    Ahh mrs money penny- I thought I had replied to your last share but it hasn't shown up. I said they are really fab. Fo you take them out of the ring and into a frame now? Sewing is one of crafts I can't/won't try. I love seeing other people's fantastic work, but I just don't think I've got eye for such careful detail..,.or patience!! Keep the pics coming so I can admire xx

    Thank you, the type of frame i've used for those is designed to stay on it has a little hanger on the top. so really i just need to gather the edge fabric to draw it in then stick either felt or card over the back to cover it and make it neat.
    They didn't take long at all, i did the one with the snail on over the weekend and the star one only took a couple of evenings.

    That's a great idea! What sort of card will you use? Is it sturdy enough to take the weight of chocs? Xx

    No :rotfl: I didn't even think of this so my first lot just collapsed when I put the chocs in, I am using 170 weight card which is light but I have loads of it left from last year. The second lot I cut an inner bit from cereal box and sandwiched it between two pieces of the red card, this works fine.
