This is what I have made for J, to put outside his room, as it isn't really weatherproof.
I was planning on making metal ones, but my friend asked for an acrylic one for her son, so thought I might aswell make some for the fayre. Much prefer the metal ones tbh.

I'm hoping I still have the lovely metal one I got when C was little.
Kellfi, have you looked in card shops?? You can get some gorgeous ones, for a couple of quid.
