These are the same ones but from a different seller: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sparkle-Pom-Poms-x-18-/180554422479?pt=UK_Crafts_CraftingPaper_EH&hash=item2a09e1d8cf

The person I bought them off hasn't got any at the moment (just checked their store.)

here's a picture

place your flannel like a diamond - put your soap lengthways in the middle
take the top and bottom corner, place together and roll them tightly down to the soap,
you now have a long shape - pull up both sides so the corner tips meet (then like a ponytail) use an elastic band to secure tightly at the soap.
these are the ears
(you can push the lump of rolled flannel forward a bit to make the face fuller)
googly eyes 10mm work for me, and a pompom nose for the face.
Use a ribbon or tinsel to hide the elastic band and make prettier.
Next take a pipecleaner (I have used brown ones and glittery red ones - you name it...)
Cut one in half and fold the other in half. use the smaller bits to twist at the top ends to form the antler branches
I like to add tiny bells - but whatever you prefer
push the folded pipecleaner in at the top - the tight elastic will hold it in place.

Gosh - I hope some of that made enough sense to help...... !!!!
