I NEED fake treasure!

DS2 has requested fake treasure for Christmas. Easy peasy I thought, imagining plastic coins and large plastic gems. I've seen all that sort of stuff before....

aaagh! Can't find it anywhere I've got a beaded christmas garland which I'll de-bead as it has what looks like gems on it but it's not what I really had in mind.

Thanks

Now all I have to do is sew a treasure bag to put it in... I don't think I've got time to make a wooden treasure chest (and I'm not forking out for a bought one!)

If you're still looking - gold chain on a roll from a hardware shop - they usually have a few different kinds; also The Pier has lots of fake jewel Christmas decs.
