Oh the little wonders that are cocktail sticks or, if you prefer, toothpicks! Whatever you call them I am sure that you have your own list of top uses for them when mini-making or crafting. Do you use them for dotting glue? I do. Painting with? Done that. Keeping your hair pinned back? LoL yep I have a cocktail stick keeping my fringe held back right now. There are probably a million uses for these little gems of the mini-making world. Do you do something mini related with your cocktail sticks that possibly no-one else does? My favourite use is…
…sculpting on them! They are perfect for creating mini pumpkins and cauliflowers on and a whole lot more too. I have a whole pile of cocktail sticks ready with balls of scrap clay clagged on to the end of them (a great use for the wrongly mixed and mucky beyond salvaging polyclay), baked once to give a firm base, I can then apply the top layer of clay and sculpt to my hearts content whilst holding the stick without fear of squishing the clay with my clumsy fingers! AND check out my nifty cocktail stick holder… totally stable and bakeable… a re-purposed metal shaker top! cool huh?
Great idea Vicky.
Thanks Debbie
Agree, can’t work without those mini sticks
Awesome cauliflower and pumpkins!
We should buy shares in the companies Alison! Thanks for liking the cauli’s and pumpkins
I really like your minis. I’ve never seen a cauliflower as perfect as yours.

I love the two taller pumpkin on the toothpicks and the cauliflowers are amazing!
Your miniature work is great and I cant wait to see what you have next, do you have a larger amount of miniatures I can buy from at all?
Thanks again.
