  • hi everyone, can anyone tell me where to get chocolate brown flannels from???!!!!! Have tried Wilkinsons, Asda, Dunhelm, B&M's, nowhere near me appears to have them! Anyone got any ideas??? Huge thanks in advance xxx :o
    You're so very special, I wish I was special :dance:

  • Here is my first attempt at a flannel cupcake - Need a thin flannel for the creamy bit as I bought 4 for Asda and they are to thick! Also need to get a little something to go on the top - Does anyone know where I can get some red bath pearls? (I have tried Ebay and Googling it!)

    I was just wondering, I have 30 of these cupcases and would love to get some more different ones. Would anyone be willing to swap a few for different ones? Not to worry if not, if you dont ask, you may not get! :)


    Hiya Babyfreckles, I have a few different ones - strawberry ones, winnie the pooh ones, i'll be willing to swap a few with you :o pm me and let me know how many and where to send them to, and ill do the same for you xx

    Primark do lovely fluffy socks £1
    a pair as well as fluffy slippers that will
    fold down.also look out for the Elle
    Fluffy socks these are usually £6 a
    pair and have been turning up in the
    99p shops,Poundland,B&M etc.

    If your looking for something different
    to make cup cakes with the fluffy gloves
    work well too

  • When I did glove ones last year I put them in so the ends of the fingers were showing at the top which was a change from rolling them up

  • For those of you that have sold any 'reindeer flannels' .... how do you wrap them??? Cello bags ???
    I will be selling some at my nursery, and just know that the bells will disapear if not covered.
