    Hi Rusty, I've had a go myself and made 2 nappy cakes this year after seeing people post pics on here. I loved making them and think they are a fab gift as they look lovely and are full of really useful practical stuff. Yours are really beautiful, your friends will love them and I think there is definitely a market for them so good luck and I hope your craft shop starts taking orders for yours!!! :D

    Yes they will all eventually be wrapped in cellophane with a ribbon to hold it all together, I just didn't get that far last night :)

    OK if you were going to sell them... I'd invest in some wired ribbon and make those a little less rustic - personally I like rustic, but thinking about selling here... you might want to adjust that bit :)
    It's pure astetic and others might not agree - but I know if I was buying one I'd want the bow to be straight - if someone had made it for me I'd love it because they'd put in the tme and effort and the bow would be the least of my worries :)

    Does that make sense?

    Still loving them!

    Wired ribbon? less rustic? what do you mean?

    I know the bows are not straight ... but they are not completely finished yet. They still have to be put on a base board and also they have not been stuffed with hidden goodies ;) I don't even know what astetic means so I won't comment lol
