    LOL I've FINALLY finished! :o:o:o:o I've done a box of flannel cakes for my mate's birthday and added in some dinky White Company toiletries and added a scrunchie to the outside for her ;) (sorry the pics are a bit blurred, I rushed them! :rolleyes:)

    Awww cheers rosekitten, I got there in the end, it was a slow process :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'll tell her she can use some of the flannels as dusters or something if she wonders how she'll get through them all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I just couldn't resist doing a whole box when I nabbed the Waitrose cake box, loved the colour!

    Savvy - lovely box of goodies! Brilliant idea to add a scrunchie to the outside - I might be using that one...

    Cheers rainmac, I'd picked a box of 3 scrunchies up in Ikea, think they were about 99p, with a view to making a nappy cake for a mate. It has a pink and a blue one in so I covered both bases ;) It also had that green one in and I just thought I'd use it myself if I couldn't think of anything to do with it, but after closing the box, adding the yellow ribbon that was off my Mothers Day Lush box (cheers lads ;)) I thought HA, that scrunchie may just top that off and she can use it!

    Also hides my rubbish bow making ability!! :o

    Scrunchies in Ikea - never would have thought to look in there for those! The yellow and green colours look great together - you have a really good eye for colour.

    I made my first nappy cake this week. Can't wait to make another one! Pics on this thread.
