- wrap two elastics around the outside of the wash cloth.
- REPEAT folding
- take the rolled and roll it with the ready to roll wash cloth (combine the two together) HOLD.
- take spoon hold it behind the so called messy looking side of the roll.
- Take (4) elastics 1- cross it so that its sort of holding the spoon in place. 2- Cross it the opposite way (spoon will be better secured) 3- across the middle 4- straight down.

Hi Ladies. I am just a lurker who likes looking at all the beautiful cakes and things that you make. I am posting to let you know about Asda's Baby week so that you may all profit from their cheap deals. They posted me a leaflet that states that Baby week is 28th April till 17th May. Items I thought would be of interest are Pink, Blue and Cream Fleece Blankets £1 each (can you beleive the price!!), 3 pack of vests £4 (these are a colour various pack containing one long sleeved, one short sleeved and one sleeveless all with different patterns on), Mega box of Pampers nappies (ones with 3 packs in) £12, Johnsons shampoo, Baby bath and baby lotion £1 each, 2 pack plain hooded towels £5, Normal boxes of nappies (baby dry, active fit, newbaby) 2 for £20. Hope this helps some of you. X

Help please.

I have to get somethings ready for a "ladies night" tomorrow night. I have just spent a few hours going round all the bakers in my area looking for cake boxes. Only one shop had that would sell to me but the boxes have no inserts and no clear lid
The four small cakes look sad in the box. I am going to cut the lid and insert cellophane Apart from going to get tissue has anyone any ideas how to present the inside of box.

Thanks

go to asda and get a pack of 4 muffins that are about £1.20 eat the muffins and enjoy then wash the box you can either use the whole box or
use the base its got 4 sections that i am sure will fit in a cake box will find tape measure and give you sizes its 8in x7.5in
i am sure it will work, other than that make you own inset- cut a piece of card to fit using your old school skills for working out centre cut 4 holes using the box that the cup cakes came in
cover the card in nice wrapping paper and that should work ! i would also cut a cross of card to place under the inset so it gives some height to it.

i hope this helps - i always wanted some sticky back plastic and double sided cellotape when i was a kid

Ok, I am going to go down the Blue Peter route:rotfl: and try and make inserts myself. If unsuccessful I will wrap them individually in cellophane.
