Heads Up To The Works

Just an extra heads up today to let you know that The Works are currently having a half price sale on their arts and crafts range, which includes various wooden and paper craft products, to help make way for Christmas no doubt.

Although cards haven’t been “my thing” for ages now, but I did pick up 4 packs of these 30, 6ins x 6ins cards, thinking that I could put something together for all the little ones I listen to reading at school for Christmas. At only £1.75 per pack that’s about 6p per card, including the envelope, making the hassle and/or expense of cutting your own card blanks really not worth it.  Cards are available in various sizes, both in white and Kraft and in different quantities depending on the quality of the paper/card I guess.

25 Drawer Cabinet

I reckon the best buy among all the wooden crafts has to be the drawer sets, perfect for advent calendars, reduced from £18 to £9.

Small Wooden Crate

I might also avail myself on one or two of these small crates for £1 as I can see them as a Christmas table setting, filled with goodies, a paper hat, a joke, a few sweets and perhaps even a little wrapped gift, something a bit different from a cracker perhaps, which are usually pants anyway, no matter how much you pay.

Anyway, it might be worth popping in or having a look online as prices are only likely to go up in the coming months.

You make amazing advent calenders as Rick says they would not be out of place in any high class high priced designer outlet .and Rick knows his stuff when it comes to that in fact he says any thing you craft would be a stand alone product as its so well finished and just has that look that ticks all the boxes big love Marc
