Has anyone ever made a Blue Peter Advent Crown

This is one of those things I always used to see them make when I was growing up in the 70’s and we never had the materials to make one. If memory serves correctly it’s some wire coat hangers, fireproof tinsel, some bottle tops and candles (I won’t risk lighting the candles) So, I’ve decided this year to finally make one. I just wondered if anyone had actually made one?

We had a couple of those when I was a child (70's). I would like to think that I may have had some input, but chances are my mother did it and/or 'corrected' what I did - not that I'm bitter or anything.

This one is in the scenes of crime office at Camborne, slightly modified to reflect the female occupants of the team.. (some former).
