Always preferred stitch pickers from nit pickers. Very popular way to gain shed points around my place. Great stuffers at craft shows and wood shows so many wives accompany their husbands at least once they are economic and eye catching, yours have been given a lift with beaut timber.Another favourite with the ladies can be stuffing sticks simple metal rods with a wooden handle the poking end lightly cross cut used to insert the padding in dolls, SWMBO at ours buys pillows to obtain the material. Doll makers also use the felting needles that reverse push the hair on dolls another market tool with crafty groups. I used to also fit golf balls onto the metal rods, I use golf balls on the end of my metal files.Every week golf balls in great nick are sold here a hundred for 20 to 30 dollars halve that in pounds.

Very nice, I've just ordered some from Ritzheng to try them out. Hopefully they'll be here tomorrow.

Yep, seen them before, the last ones I saw was that Woody had made and not from a kit either. Much cheaper option as well.

The old man will be along shortly and remind us all with link and a reminder of what he made them from.:bwink:

How much do they cost from Ritzheng Paul? - I think they're too expensive from the usa
