Six Extravagant Paper Crowns
Six tall patterned crowns in different designs for feasts, parties, high days and holidays. Never again will you be satisfied with one of those feeble tissue paper hats that comes out of a cracker. Assembly is required — some cutting along the dotted line, and some sticking — and this allows the crown to be adjusted to the size of the wearer’s head, large or small.
Happy Birthday Banner
Thirteen large double-sided patterned eye-catching card letters spelling out HAPPY BIRTHDAY. The letters are in assorted joyful colours and designs, all with a strong folk art aesthetic, and contained in a self-closing card wallet for long-term storage. String together on yarn, string or ribbon of your choice. The garland makes a dramatic decorative feature measuring approximately two to three metres of garland, depending on how closely the letters are strung together.
Packet Assorted Craft Paper (36 Sheets)
The contents of each pack vary but will contain thirty six different sheets of currently available Cambridge Imprint high quality 90 gsm litho-printed paper papers, as well as archival papers, trial colourways and intriguing printing accidents. Also great for wrapping tiny parcels...almost too good to use.

Beefeater Red Original Baker’s Twine 100 Metres
Bakers' twines are manufactured in a wide range of nostalgic colourful colourways and are useful for wrapping, attaching to gift tags, and for home craft projects. They are much copied, but this one comes from the original UK manufacturer. As the name suggests, Bakers' twine was used in bakeries to tie paper wrapping around loaves of bread and to tie up cake boxes. Although it seems to have taken over the arts and crafts world, baker's twine is still commonly used for wrapping. From the sourcing of the yarn to the design and printing of the labels, the production of this twine supports a plethora of British makers. The natural cotton yarn is sourced from local spinners, dying is locally done to exact specifications, the manufacturer puts the yarn through several processes onto large bobbins (the twisting process gives the baker’s twine its distinctive candy stripe appearance) and then spools the twine from the giant bobbins onto smaller UK manufactured cardboard tubes to form spools. Even the labels are printed locally. No more plastic tape!
