As some of you may already know – I live in Granada Province, Andalucia, in Spain. Our village here is very small with just over 1000 inhabitants, both Spanish and incomers from other parts of the world.

This is a brilliant idea Sue! I’ll definitely be making some for our Linus fundraising sale table xx

Thanks Gini. They are really simple to do (as you can see) and look good. 🙂

Excellent cause Sue and what a great idea. Will make some of these for our group exhibition next year. A good way to use up some old CDs but will have to find a vegan alternative to the tuna tin 🙂
-
Thanks Ruth – gosh never thought of the tin!!!! What on earth can you get that is Vegan and the same size as a Universal Tuna tin? 🙂
-
Maybe a little tin of vegan spread from the Health food store – will check it out and let you know Sue. 🙂

Chick peas?

Might be a bit too tall. Will go searching in a health food store and see what I come up with. Thanks Heather. 🙂

Upcycling at its best. I would never think of using a scoured! Lovely -and so well explained.

Thank you Maggie.

This may just encourage me to clear out some CD’s, your explanation is really clear. So good to hear that you are part of that little village and helping to keep it vibrant, Andalusians are such lovely people in my experience.

What a brilliant idea, thanks for sharing

That’s so lovely Sue. I’m adding it to my extremely long to-do list 🙂

Thank you Alison. That is very kind of you.

What great idea! I keep thinking I would make one using one of the hoops I have. Have made pottery clocks at ‘Classes’ but this is a great idea for my sewing room. Thank You Sharon

Although I haven’t been asked to review this set of Snap Poppers, I am so impressed with them that I thought I would pass on my thoughts.

Quite satisfying… and a good scraps user. Do pull the strips straight when sewing two or more together – they tend to ‘bag’ otherwise…. Just a comment 🙂

A great way of using all those narrow pieces of wadding that you have left over when you are sandwiching a quilt.
My Bowl has a circular base with a diameter of 7inches. But you can make it smaller…

Thank you Chris. I bought a pack of these because of your Product Review. THEY ARE BRILLIANT!!! They are everything you said… they work, they stay put and, yes, you can wash your hands and they still work. Best £8 I have spent in a long time.

I think that is an excellent idea! No need to burn fingertips, mess with glue or thread a needle -all of which leave to chaos for the butterfingers amongst us.
