Hi

I am sooo in love with the christmas gingerbread man garland in Ians cafe on Eastenders, i was just wondering if anyone on here knows where i could buy one from, or of a pattern so i could make one?

I dont watch Eastenders (really, I don't watch the soaps at all ) so I dont know what it looks like. Would be interested to hear from others though.

I think The Pier used to do them and other wooden chains of Santa's and Snowmen. I'm not sure if the company went kaput - closed down in Reading (can't remember seeing the shop in Basingstoke either, so perhaps that's gone too). Not seen them since, but a good place to look are in little craft like shops.

The Pier has indeed ceased trading. I loved going in there.

 

Had a thought though, if you dont want to do real gingerbread men, how about salt dough ones instead.

Me too - The Pier was one of my favourite shops & all my best stuff is from there

 

Love the idea of a Gingerbread man garland
