i need to buy my mam some chocolates to go with her perfume for her birthday tomorrow!

and i thought, well ive been boring enough buying chocolates and perfume so ive decided to build her something shes nagged for/wanted for years!

but obviously she isnt worth all them chocolates like the one in the adverts, so im going to cheat!made this at work



there you go mam

ah ok, i will cover the outside with forrero's and i will hide the perfume inside the tower ! so we have a reason to eat them all quickly

will get pictures tomorrow morning

oh man, this should have been a other projects page!

with step-by-step & measurements! it's genius!

[tuktuk]

measurements will depend on how many choccies you want to splash out on really! at first i was like yeah i will do it big... then my cleaner walked in and said thats going to cost a bomb to cover and she is probably right looking back

all i done was cut out 3 identical triangles, and stuck them together plus, brown tape hides any amount of errors

mine is 65cm along the bottom and side edges... i will report back how many it takes to fill it!

Goto Home Bargains and buy the ones just in date.

No point going to tesco and buying ones which are best before 2011, when your going to eat them all the same day anyway!

What a great idea. Especially with the perfume inside. If it's too expensive to cover with FR you could wrap marshmallows in crinkly gold foil and stick them on two of the sides.

i might trim it down as weve worked out how many i roughly need

another idea is to decorate 2 sides with flowers ect and just have one side for forreros...

[Teapot]

In that case you might put a pic of your mini on one side with dear mam, love from you on it, flowers on the second, & FRs on the third.

That's my dream! I love fererro rochers, although I'm not sure I could settle for the cheap version of the pyramid, I'd like a solid one please!!

[huw_jenks]

It's my Mums birthday tomorrrow too! Perhaps we're related...

[chappy]

thats how its done in the ads too!

just gold cylindrical pyramid with them stuck on the outside.

What did you make it? I would guess that with a triangle of base length 65cm and with a single Rocher being about 3 cm diameter you'd be looking for about 750 to cover the whole thing.

[tuktuk]

she got forrero rochers but not in a tower as i left the pyramid in the office i will do it for christmas but definately crop it down a bit as it would cost a fortune!

[davidv]

Thats a very good idea she will love it and you made it i would put it on a base and one side a door to put things inside.

[Mr Bean`s othe mini]

ah thats a really good idea
