Hi, i have attached (a rather large) picture of the flannel cupcakes i did. The 'cherries' are off a sprig of artificial holly i had from wilkinsons for 40p. There are enough on each sprig to decorate at least 6 or 7 cupcakes

I have just come back from one of the local christmas fayres, and on one of the stalls the lady had used a flannel and made it like a christmas cracker.

A white flannel, probably wrapped around a cardboard tube, a piece of red ribbon tied in a bow at each end and a red christmas motif stuck on the middle.
Such a simple idea but it really did look good.

How come none of us have thought of this before ....... especially after all that yule log flannel rolling that we have done :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I bet Mary is now running to the bathroom, looking for a loo roll and a spare flannel

I got mine from Hobbycraft home delivery.Can't remember how much they were but they were on 3 for 2 and postage was reasonable.You could phone them to get price . You need to order by phone. Details on their website.Hope this helps. Mariae.

I ordered these recently from Hobbycraft .....

Pipe cleaners (304mm x 9mm) 25 pack ...... £1.49
Bells 43 pack ...... £2.79
Eyes (10mm) 55 pack ..... 1.99

Postage to Spain was only just over £3.
I am sure that Mariea was charged just over £1 for postage within UK.
