For those that wear (or know someone that does wear) glasses still, those pretend plastic lenses that are in frames when you try them on get thrown away when they make the real lenses with a prescription. Be nice to your eyedoctor's staff and you can probably get a box full of "toys" to play with. They are perfect for pins and some of them can be softened with a heat gun and bent to shape. :lovie:

Wow, that's a great idea. I hope I have it in my mind, when I will go the the eyedoctor next time.

My eye doctor thought the girls were crazy when they put a small box next to the work bench and started saving "trash". :lol:
