What’s on my desk this Wednesday? Just a couple of bits of festive frippery…..
A rough and ready Christmas decoration from Poundland ….. but I reckon with a dab of gloss paint round the bottom and some fiddle farting on the letters, (not sure if they will actually need totally recovering) and it could be miraculously transformed …… I also have a sort of feeling that I will wish I had bought a couple more!
….. And a pack of 24 “luxury” gift tags from Primark (£1) …… you can’t buy 4 card toppers for that!
They are incredibly sweet and I don’t think it will take much other that a little mat and layering, and a few bits of bling to turn them into some equally sweet cards. So watch this space!

Hi Helen. I am looking forward to seeing what you make of the sign and the gift tags. I love the "cheap" shops or sale items. It gives so much extra pleasure when you come up with a great card, gift etc. that is unique, knowing what you paid for it. You come up with fantastic items. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

loved catching up with your blog. Love the mints and the advent houses from a few posts ago. I just spent £12 on a papermania one and decided it will work this year, but next year I'm going to look for something more robust to alter. Your examples have totally inspired me

ReplyDeleteIt's always so fun to see the bargains you find. Can't wait to see them transformed with a little Fiddle Fart magic!
