Heads Up – Christmas Crafts Hit The Works

My local Works have started stocking some of their Christmas craft range, so it would be rude not to have a mooch even though it seemed pretty much same old. What I also noticed was that the value for money isn’t as good as it used to be. I am pretty sure there used to be more, possibly 10, reindeer head embellishments in a pack than just 5 for £1, because I’ve used so many of them in the past, I really don’t think I would have paid that much for 5 (????).  Packets now seem to contain fewer embellishments for £1 or have sneaked up to £1.50, so I can see myself cutting back.

However, it was the small, wooden sledges that caught my imagination …….

They are only small, but how cute are they?  I am thinking a small chocolate figure of Santa on the front, perhaps with a bottle brush Christmas tree and then something like a Ferreo Rocher on the back, a pile of chocolate coins or some small wrapped chocolate squares (I think M & S do them) …… I just need to sort out proportions. I am thinking once dressed they would make really cute place settings on a Christmas table.
