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 …….

The Works Mini Sledge Craft Embellishment

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.
