OH suggested last night doing christmas puddings in little muffin cases..............he said to wrap the flannel round a chocolate orange ( or even real orange?) -elastic band to secure it and that part goes on the bottom. Cut a piece of white felt in a random shape to resemble cream and pop holly decoration on top. I did try it with a tennis ball (minus felt and holly)but the flannels I've got are a bit too thick .............I got some brown ones last year that were smaller and thinner -can't remember where from. Any ideas ?

You can't remember where you got your brown flannels from??

You stalked every wilkos in the country to get your flannels :rotfl: poor wilkos will never stock brown flannels again incase we jump on them!!! fab udea for xmas puds

Primark sells brown face cloths four for 1.50 pr asda that does two for £2

I do remember I got them from Kings Lynn but haven't a clue whether it was Wilkos, Poundland or where............. OH has promised me a trip to Skegness once the holidaymakers have gone.........then we'll see what their Wilkos have to offer............don't think they've got a primark or asda though.

irishgirl - thanks but really I want thinnish ones otherwise by the time I've tied the flannel round the chocolate orange I'll never get it in the cup cake case.
Don't have a primark here either
I'll have to get OH to take me into Lincoln and have a look round I think -was his idea..............lol:rotfl:
