Like that idea Rusty.............might try both ways and see which looks best. I'm not a drinker but OH loves his red wine..........surely he won;t miss a glass.....................lol

Mary, how about try a brown felt tip or marker pen and 'colour in' the pipe cleaners. Hope that doesn't sound too mad but my Grandad does this to dye thread for fly tying. Just put the pen on the pipe cleaner and pull the pipe cleaner through.

Hope that helps- I love the soap reindeer and must have a go at making some. Can anyone tell me whether the value soaps are individually wrapped?

Thanks:D

Thanks got it spend it - I'll see if I can get any brown ones, if not I've got a few options to try.

Hi GISI, the Tesco value soaps aren't individually wrapped but are a good size for the reindeer - and an even better price!

got-it-spend-it - rainmac is right, but I have wrapped mine in a layer of tissue paper before and it makes them look nice. Other times I have left them as they are.

Thanks cookie, didn't think of wrapping them myself, what a fab idea

Asda Smartprice ones are not individually wrapped either but I just use them as they are. They smell quite nice actually

Morning All....

I saw a white flannel 'handbag' in a charity shop the other day, with a £1 price tag It didn't look too bad really; the flannel covered the cardboard shape, & then covered with cling film. Little posy embelishment--like you get for making cards--a two line poem about a gift sent with love & an unwrapped bar of soap in the middle...& a piece of white ribbon for the handle.

Wasn't made by one of yooze lot was it

BMF - certainly wasn't me..................lol Much as I can do to manage the yule logs and cup cakes...............got my flannel handbag from a craft fair for £1.50 ages ago and kept it for a pressie for sons girlfriend or grandaughter.......not sure which yet.

Thought these were really cute and would do for toddlers or baby hampers or even on nappy cakes
