does anyone know how I can make flannel cakes?

I was wondering where people get their flannels from? Obviously wilko etc have them but I don't the fact they have wilkinsons on the label!! I like home bargains ones as they do not have the brand on! I guess you could cut it out but was just wondering. Obviously I don't want to spend too much on them!

i got mine from towels direct.co.uk they are 34p each. i have just bought 12 from there. they are really good quality too not thin nice and thick and fluffy

laura- have seen them on there but wasnt sure what they would be like. yes thats a good price but when you add the £6 postage it does make them much dearer if you arent buying many

im not sure where you are but postage was £2.95. (UK Mainland) for me. and i bought 12 so it was just over 60p each witch i dint think was bad considering the cost and time it would take me to get to town centre to buy them. just an idea

I must have missed something laura (as usual lol) i thought it said £6 for web orders so i assumed it was that. Will have another look -hubby will be over the moon lol

i looked every where found them cheaper on dunhelm mill but postage was more. i hope it helped. i only ordered 12 and should of got more but the ones i have done so far have socks they look good(i think anyway) socks are slipper socks from primark. if i could upload pics i would show them off but it wont let me as to new

I have been to a dunelm store today and they are quite nice - bought a few think I'll try towels direct although they dont have many colours left. Some of the nicest ones I have used have been from Asda- they are £1 for a pack of 2 but on offer 3 packs for £2 at the moment - they have lots of colours and for 33p dont think i can grumble too much!

Has anyone seen any red or green flannels - wanting to do something that looks a bit christmassy!!

Homebargains had lovely red & green ones but
they sold out quick by us worth a try.
John Lewis have green and red but at
£2 each a bit pricey.
Might be worth a look in the supermarkets

Primark have black ones for anyone doing
Guiness glasses

rosekitten - thanks - managed to get some red and green from Home Bargains (or HB's as I like to call it -sounds so much classier lol!!!) My local one has hardly anything but to bigger one a few towns away! The HB ones are actually quite nice - especially for 29p

Have found this thread tonight by accident as was looking at the Christmas ideas on another thread and am still up at 1:10 because it was such great reading. Am now unable to sleep because I'm thinking about flannels and socks! Thanks to everyone for all the great ideas - I haven't posted before but have enjoyed reading this so much I just had to. Will def be trying some of these ideas out - especially the reindeer and the christmas log ideas but if all goes well they won't be the only ones!
