    another 2 to add to my collection ... Pink one if for MIL 1 and blue one is for my mums hamper ... not sure why but these ones took some doing. The flannels are not square which is what I think the problem was ... I can starting to build up their hampers now so that they can be wrapped and put away for christmas.

    Rusty, I've had a go at the two colour cupcakes as I love the effect of yours and can't get my flannels into the case once rolled :mad: - how do you do it? I'm using cheapie flannels so they aren't thick but can't seem to squeeze them in! Thanks :D

    Hi Rainmac, When you first roll them over I don't do them as small I roll them 3 times if tha makes sense, also helps them reach the bottom of the cases :) then just have to roll them as tight as possible, if they are then too loose in the case when you let go them seen to unravel a little and fill out the case. Give it another try then if you need me to do a tutorial of some kind I will see what I can muster up :)
