I've only managed to get 1 draft excluder 'sausage' made so far but will get back to that as soon as moved house
I've saved the last 2 tomato puree tubes and have them cut open, washed and flattened ready for making some Christmas stars. (Be careful if you use these as the edges are very sharp.)
Does anyone have any other ideas for useful items that can be made from paper mache - I'm sure there are loads of good ideas, I'm just not very imaginative!
Thanks.

I'm going to practice my photography with digital camera for the next year so I can make personalised calendars for everyone for 2010.
My papier mache banks are all surviving and these are the same ones I made in December 2007, so they make perfectly good gifts.
:eek: My first post!!
Just thought i'd share an idea that i had last week and have been working on pretty much every night since. You can download a free programme that will create photo mosaics. (the large photos made of loads of little photos) i'm not allowed to post links but google andrea mosaics and it's the first in the list.
I chose a photo of me and my partner and used our recent holiday snaps. The result was amazing, it looks so professional. I have since been raiding all my friends photos and am planning to make them for everone at Christmas. There are quite a few photo printing websites that will print a3 posters for around £6. get a cheap frame ans you've got a really thoughful present that pretty much everyone will love.
I think that if you plan on publishing your work you have to quote andrea mosaics, but all the details are in the terms and conditions.
Have fun playing around with it!!
