I wanted to do decorated little metal buckets with stationery or whatever in them for the teachers but am struggling to find small cheap metal buckets....anyone got any ideas?
I have got little galvanised buckets from poundland before - but that was a few months ago have to say..........

Some of you said you where doing stalls for school.
My friend went somewhere at the weekend and they had hook the bag instead of hook the duck.
It was £3 a go and some bags where empty
She did say the bags where gorgeous so I suppose you paid for them.
I thought some of the suggestions here would be good to go in the bag then the winner could give as a present if they did not want it themselves

I'm sure Camelot did something like this last year, but inside was a bracelet, necklace and sweets from what I recall. Boys bags were a different colour !!
My mum reminded me of this today. You call it cockroach eggs. Get a piece of cardboard, Fold into thirds, so that it folds up into a rectangle, a third of the size of the card board. Get a rubber band, cut it in half. Tie a small plastic ring, or paperclip to the middle of the rubber band. You staple the ends of the band to the top and bottom of the first fold of the cardboard. You then twist the rubber band using the ring, until it is taut, and then fold the card up so the rubber band is on the inside fold of the card, and cant be seen at all. You write a story, describing cockroaches, something along the lines of they are prehistoric animals, cannot be destroyed etc etc, and have been around for thousands of years. You then say that enclosed in this card are genuine cockroach eggs which have been dated at 3000 years old or something like that. As the person opens the card, the elastic will unravel and make a sort of russling noise, of course everyone thinks the cockroaches have come alive andyou will get a big Kids absolutely love it.

Sarah
Cut 2 -3 inch x 3 inch squares and 1 - 3 inches x 1cm from mountboard
stick to scrapbooking paper in a row with a 2 cm border and a small gap each side of the thin piece (3 inches x 1 cm)
(ie square gap strip gap square)
Fold in the 2cm border all around and stick then cover with a piece approx 3 inches x 7 inches (you can trim if it is a bit big)
Fold each side of the thin piece and stick a post it book to the inside.
fold in half corner to corner, bring the corner point down to straight edge.
fold side corners in and back to form a square, flap ears down,
then fold in half to make triangle and secure at the back with an elastic band.
stick eyes and tongue on.
when this is made up you can fit a bar of soap or similar in the gap in the head or underneath.
