Thanks, I've been looking for a nice Xmasy mug and haven't been able to find one...at a price I'm willing to pay

I bought some small clear plastic Xmasy bowls and tumblers from Morrisons yesterday - BOGOF so you get 2 for 99p, The bowls would make great pots for pots of gold. I've bought them for us to have our cereal in on Xmas morning, am I sad...? Please don't answer that one :rotfl:

thats the ones i got rainmac didnt notice they were bogof til i got home tho glad i bought in 2's lol they are worth the money going to use them for pots of gold i think

Rainmac - your pots of golds are lovely!!

Calling all crafters - I've seen a lovely idea where instead of giftags, you use a ceramic heart/star etc. in festive colours and write the receivers name on it, then they can hang it on the xmas tree as a decoration afterwards. However they were £8 for 3 shapes....and I need about 12 :eek:



So...anyone got any ideas on how to make ceramic (or something similar) hearts and stars? I'm thinking Fimo and cookie cutters, but if anyone can advance on that I'd be all ears!!! A bit like the pic above but a bit more rustic and a bit less polished!!

Also anyone got any ideas for the cord??

not sure how much fimo costs but what about this ? if you cant find other ideas

oh forgot to say instore/poundstretcher has metal xmas cookie cutter sets for 75p in the sale for anyone looking for them

Thanks stormbreaker, funny you should say that, I am thinking of maybe doing one next year using lots of the ideas I've found out about this year. I would hate it is nobody bought anything but it may be worth a go to see and I've got a year to prepare myself for the humiliation . Nearly all the things I've done have come from ideas others have generously put on this board

Thanks hels! This is the verse I used - nicked from bunbun ...

Here’s a little pot of gold
A festive nibble too
I/We* hope it will make
All of your dreams come true
Have a very merry Christmas
From me/us* to you!

*delete as applicable

Got the verse saved in Word. If you'd like it please PM me your email address and I'll send it - will save you typing it again!
