    I recently bought some scrunchies
    in the 99p shop there were five
    in the tube.Being a cheeky blighter
    I fished out the colours I liked and
    put them all in one tube.

    But poundland do them 4 in a pack

  • The Good Fairy has spoiled me (even though I haven't ordered - yet), these aren't anywhere near as nice as hers.

    Looking at the spoons it looks like swizzel sticks like you get in drinks @ bars, I got my DH choc. spoons years ago and it was just a plastic spoon dipped in chocolate, I am going to try these.

    This Special Occasions forum has got my dormant creative juices flowing and I have turned into an even bigger hoarder and look at everything with a creative eye.

    FiFi :)

    have to agree with you I look at things
    very differently these days.Always
    wondering if I can make something
    out of stuff especialy if its something
    a bit obscure.

    Me too..............lol Anything can be put to use I would think if we really looked and thought hard enough..............trouble is, where I really should be re-cluttering, as fast as I get rid of something I fill the space up with odds and sods..........just in case..............lol

    Hi, reading again what I wrote I realise it looks awfull (blame the time), didn't mean any critisism, they are cute little candles and it was a great find, but now I have been spoilt after seeing Sarah's.

    so with these in mind and they are
    filled with coco ,marshmallows etc.
    I thought would this work with a
    flannel,well I had a go at making a
    cone from cellophane.

    Now dont laugh as this is a work in
    progress and I only have a few bits
    of ribbon and pins to hand.But I
    think you can get the general idea
    heres two efforts anyone any ideas what
    to use to decorate these better ?
