louby loo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I want to make to Christmas tree ring thing with a strange name - I have a set of ring tins things that I bought about 5 years ago, they are in the cupboard untouched. The thing is, if I do make it now everyone will say 'oh you saw bake off too' :huh: and I shall feel diddled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It was this Cait - only the photo doesn't really do it justice! Had red, green and gold edible glitter on it! Paul Hollywood's Kranskake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Froglet, loving your door!! I was going to make my door into a reindeer stable door, but sadly time has got away from me again, so saving that idea for next year. Have you seen all the door ideas on pinterest, they are fab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I know it won't stay up for long but I'm really pleased I did it. Will definitely do it again next year. Edited January 1, 2015 by Froglet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Love that, Froglet! Also pleased that it's multiples of six. I get ridiculously peeved when I see folk have just folded paper into eighths! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get ridiculously peeved when I see folk have just folded paper into eighths!I'm glad you checked! Actually, I confess to being really dense about getting sixths for ages - kept doing them in thirds until I realised I needed to make one more fold! This is my back door which is the one I use most but as you can see not easy to put a wreath on so this is nice. I'm thinking of making snowflake garlands for my front room windows next year. They are straight on to the street but a bit too small for a tree really. Edited January 1, 2015 by Froglet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 loving the snowflake tree, do you cut hem freehand or do you draw out the shape onto the folded paper, they appear very symmetrical this year ours were a little adhoc as we just cut out any bits we felt like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 loving the snowflake tree, do you cut hem freehand or do you draw out the shape onto the folded paper, they appear very symmetrical this year ours were a little adhoc as we just cut out any bits we felt like For one of them I drew the shape (large one with the loops and circles at the bottom left) the others I cut freehand. I did google 'snowflake patterns ' to get a couple of ideas but then took them in my own direction. I did work really hard on getting the folds accurate which I think helped with the symmetry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It's beautiful - and one I'll produce as an idea next year when the twentysomethings get fed up with playing Jenga - thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fold in half and then do the thirds bit like pieces of pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So what's your folding technique? I fold in half and then do the thirds bit like pieces of pie I fold in half, then thirds then fold that in half - at least that's what I did this time, can't remember what I was doing when it didn't work!

Technically that's how I do it too Froglet, but it's getting the thirds accurate that I find tricky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks ! I love making them but i only do it for friends and family as i just dont have time to do all the ones i'm asked to. It's not the best photo ...my favourite one ive made was for a friend who loves art ...i did him painting a naked lady on a chaise longue! (she had modesty knickers on!)

Froglet Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I just made these. I play an online version of scrabble with a friend and the other day beat her with a 208 point word. I had a triple triple word score with a J in. Told her I'd make cake to say sorry, asked what kind she wanted. She said "Surprise me!" So I am!

Froglet Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 slightly worried that the first word I found was suicide :wacko: Not sorry?! There's a whole tray of other letters too with the rest of the alphabet and a few extras. Except that I couldn't resist eating a spare R just to test them out!
