I have been searching for one of those 'retro sweet boxes' to make and could only find one in wilkinsons for £3.99 but it was a little too big, and too expensive.

not sure what kind of retro sweet box your after,
but i did my OH a sweet mix hamper thing last christmas and i bought a little fishing tackle box like this


they dont cost much at all.. think mine was only 99p and it had 8 or 10 sections, so i filled them all with different sweets and tied it up with a big ribbon, he LOVED it (and now all the sweets are gone we have a tackle box to keep our little crafting bits in!)

Curious George - thank you, that was exactly what I was after; however, I have just returned from Poundland with 4 pink ones! Perfect!!!!

Would a hat, scarf & gloves make a 'cake' do you think? I'm wondering about getting some when they're reduced in the sales to do for next year, so just musing on ideas at the mo

Yes I think so! The scarf would make a nice swiss roll. Mind you thats just because the one I bought for a present was brown! You could make it big like a xmas/birthday cake!

dont have a scarf set to try this out
so i will describe this as best as poss

what about this,say for example
the hat has a bobble on,use that for
the centre then wrap the gloves round
fingers pointing up,then fold the scarf in
half long ways,wrap this round the gloves
slightly raising the centre.It should look like
a large muffin and the bobble should be sitting
proud on the top surrounded by the fingers
og the gloves giving a leaf/petal effect.use a paper
cake frill,wide ribbon or cardbaord around the
edge.

right... i want to start making reindeers now, they are so adorable!
ive finally found some dark brown flannels (morrisons 4 for 89p) i have soap and pom poms for the nose... but no brown pipe cleaners, where do you all get yours from? do you think i could get away with other colours? also where do you get the goggly eyes?
and..... just incase i cant figure it out, does anyone have any idea what page the instructions are on?

sorry for all the questions.... i want the moon on a stick!

Hi, I got mine from ebay..this a link for the brown pipe cleaners, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/50-Brown-Chenille-craft-stems-Pipe-cleaners_W0QQitemZ260315927514QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Children_s_Crafts_EH?hash=item260315927514&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

There are lots of googly eyes on ebay, the first ones I bought were 7mm size & way too small! So I bought some more which were 16mm & they're much better! I've got a bit addicted to reindeer making but everywhere here has run out of brown flannels!

It dnt look right it just looks like bab, sorry not very good at explaining.

It just looks like a rolled up flannel, and the filling looks too far away from the edge.

if you want to make a swiss roll or yule log this is an example
of how to fold it,I used lighter coloured flanels so they would show
up better.the cheap and cheerful 20p flanels seem to work best for the filling.
