Christmas is nearly here and the shops are full of plastic, sperical, easily painted decorations...Just avoid the glass ones, they're not so fun to sand!

Vacuforming is pretty cheap, but takes some practice. The advantage is that once you learn to do it you can make almost any kind of eyes you want. Search the forum for old vaccumforming threads or Google it and you should find some very good tutorials.

I went into Kmart and bought oval measuring spoons.Then just pick the size you want and cut off the handle.
