Hama beads, Graffiti again,

The last 20 minutes or so was solved by the graffiti - really popular and they wrote down what they wanted me to create for the following week too.  Mother's Day preparation dominated last week with photo frames and some yummy popcorn rocky road.  They broke up a few biscuits, added mini marshmallows together with a piece of plain popcorn into a petit fours case then one spoonful of melted chocolate on top.  It set really quickly in the fridge on paper plates which they had written their name on.  We made boxes to take them home in for mums though I doubt if many got that far!

So this week I will get the Hama beads out.  Once you have purchased the peg boards it becomes cost effective.  I picked up a huge tin of beads from a car boot sale but you can shop around for them.  Just beware - they come in different sizes.  Use baking parchment or greaseproof paper between them and the iron.  Iron carefully on the top side moving the iron so you don't melt the pegs.  Gently tip it on to the paper and iron on the back side with paper between it and the iron again.
