got the basket from Wilkinsons,
set of three different sizes £5.99
the Lee stafford worked out £2
each and the Ted Baker worked out
a £1 each thanks to the people on the
Boots thread.I found the bag in a
drawer and put little note pads in it.

    Can I ask what you have covered it with? I can't find anyone who does cellophane & I can't think of anything else.:D

    Looks like folded over cellophane :)

    Have you looked in your local florist? Most will sell you cellophane by the meter and if all else fails then it can be bought from Fleabay :)

    tallyhoh - Pop into a local florist thats what I did and bought loads - they were lovely and quite happy to sell it even thought I wasn't buying flowers.

    Try ebay for cellophane, there are sellers who do rolls of it at reasonable prices and work out better value for money than paying a florist.
