Helpful tips. Part two
The creative juices are flowing here in West Norfolk, just like those from the Christmas turkey. In part two of how to beat Austerity Christmas we are featuring presents for the children that you can create in that sanctuary at the end of the garden, no not the outside earth toilet but that male preserve, the shed.
When the children see the pipe cleaner figures they'll soon forget that iPhone 6, iPad or the XBox. By the way it's worth noting we advise unused pipe cleaners because utilising used pipe cleaners would be taking thrift just a little too far, even for us.

If you dare to be different just paint them in the colour of your choice. We can see it now.
