    Snowman Bottle stoppers

    This is my version of the Snowman bottle stoppers. They are Cocobolo, Bloodwood, and Bocote from left to right.

    What do you think?

    All the best.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

    Thanks guys, and I was just starting to open up the Idaho market, too.
    Seriously, they make great gifts for Christmas or a stopper plus a favorite bottle of wine for the host of holiday party makes a great gift. And you get invited back.
    I saw these on a couple of websites. They are very easy and fast and they sell well during this time of year.

    All the best.

    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Those are great, Don. Get some holly and then make eyes, nose and mouth once you're done.

    Dang, I think I just gave away my Christmas present idea...
    Where did I put that tape measure...

    Stolen?

    I don't get it! How can the design be stolen if it is openly offered on the Craft Supplies USA website, and other sites on the web?
