    Hi Code,

    Blankets from Matalan are the best to fold as they are square, when most of the others are oblong which causes real problems.

    Lay the blanket face down on bed (diamond shape) with hood nearest to you, (but underneath.)
    Start folding from top pointed bit down to start of hood. Then fold hood bit up.
    Start with approx 4 inch fold but if it doesn’t work out you might have to unfold and try again, smaller or bigger folds until its right, Usually takes 4 or 5 folds.

    At this point I pin the strip so it doesn’t fall apart when I put around cake.
    COUNT THE PINS to make sure you’ve removed them all.

    When putting around cake, pull slightly to get a snug fit and either overlap one end over other at back or tuck one end into other. (Bit fiddly doing this) Pin together till you get ribbon on then remove or use a safety pin.

    You won’t need to put anything in to hold the front up as it stays up on its own.

    Sorry it’s a bit long winded – hope it helps!

    :T Thanks moonpenny your a star.

    I got these rabbits in the January Sales and have had the towels for ages and only just got round to making them up.
    Am in the middle of making 2 blue ones the same.
    Can I ask if anyone likes one more than the other? - Pink or White Ribbons? :confused:

    Candy - Good luck today!!

    Almond - I met a woman recently who has a full time business making and selling these bibs and since then seem to have seen them everywhere - they are certainly much better than normal bibs.

    Regarding the sizes though - I would measure my boys necks but it would be inaccurate as all kids are different. I think your best bet would be to go to mother care or asda and buy a bib in each size then use this as your guide.

    HTH
    :dance: Thanks to everybody in the crafting threads who inspired me to start my own business!!
