Tunnocks

[thelionthewitchtheaudacityofTHISbitch]

I have seen it quoted on here for many years that Tunnocks are to be supported as they support women's rights. I have looked on their website and social media and can see nothing to support this rumour. Does anyone have any evidence? Thanks.

You could cut a foam ball in two to create the shape and make a matching pair.

Liking your work Cake. Glad you're stocked back up

I've worked out you can reshape a caramel wafer wrapper if you open it carefully enough and stick some tape with a hanging loop down the back to help it keep shape. But the caramel logs the packet will need stuffing with folded kitchen roll to keep the shape.

I'm fucked as to how to recreate the snowball!

I love that your post appears at the top of a new page for me. Just sat there with no reference to what came before making people go 'what the f...'😂

Just bought a teacake badge / brooch from this site. Haven't unwrapped ot yet due to being away.

Anyway, baubles available.

Tunnocks teacake baubles!! I definitely need to make some of these. Thank you for the brilliant idea, @Boiledbeetle.

It was@AppleTreeOwner idea. I just made the prototype!

@Chersfrozenface 😱 £18 a bauble!!! Ping pong ball version is cheaper. Although the one in that site it's nice!

My apologies, @AppleTreeOwner - thank you for the idea.

@Boiledbeetle - thank you for being you.

Tis the season to be Tunnocks tra la la

snowball fight anyone?

This is all I've actually done today!

Actually I've had another idea. The stuff I cut off the boxes to make magnets. Instead of magnetic sheet being stuck on the back stick bits off the used wrappers and a ribbon in between

I can't be arsed doing it now but the magnets are below you can see they would kind of work as Xmas Dec's

Bonus highland cow in the photo

I've been Lego-ing all day with ds but I can see some serious Tunnocks craft being my next project. Is the magnetic sheet adhesive? I've a huge pile of Tunnocks wrappers ready to be turned into decorations.

The stuff I've got is, it's on a roll. But I know you can get A4 sheets as well

Amazon have half circle foam.

I trust you've measured a Tunnocks properly in order to get the right diameter?

I will before ordering don't worry. I've been searching Amazon for the cap things to stick on the top for threading the string. I plan to make 6 teacake baubles and 6 wafer baubles. I'm not sure how to do the wafers as polystyrene gives me the heebies so I'm hoping to get cuboids to save cutting and screaming.

😱 I can't compete with that level of devotion!

Erm for the caramel wafers could you use the green stuff florists stick flowers in?

Or measure a wafer and just make little cardboard boxes the right size

@Boiledbeetle did you used to be a Blue Peter presenter ? You can tell us, you’re with friends here, which presenter are you? Sarah Greene?

No! But I am friends with the guy who used to sing waltzing matilda backwards on the Adventure Game (completely irrelevant to the conversion but I like to brag!)

Cut rectangles of cardboard of the right length and width then glue them together until the height is correct?

I could do another diagram 😊

We await the diagram

How about pompoms as Tunnocks snowballs?

But how do you do the coating and the coconut?

I was thinking about your cardboard post above. Thick enough cardboard, glue gun with coloured glue sticks and a piece of Brown paper wrapped around and you could do an open caramel wafer baubles with a bite taken out of it!

Aha, I seem to remember Lesley Judd was in The Adventure Game….
Nobody else remembers it and give me very strange looks when I talk about Uncle aspidistra . Very impressed by your claim to fame

You don't want to get on the wrong side of Uncle! You can buy a boxset of all the series on DVD on Amazon! Some are missing including the Lesley judd episode i think.

It's so funny watching them use really really old computers.. :'You are in a room'.. Types ..turn left.

I used to work in a theatre, I have many a tale to tell!
