They Turn Wine Glasses Into Attractive Ornaments

They Turn Wine Glasses Into Attractive Ornaments AG WORLD Linda and Mike Docter have found a new use for plastic wine glasses They turn them into small bell-shaped Christmas tree ornaments with an object inside that often has a country theme The ornaments can contain everything from pigs cows and horses to pandas snow men gingerbread men and 1/64-scale toy tractors The objects set on a fake snow base made from small Styrofoam balls with frosty Christmas trees standing nearby Each ornament is made by separating the base of the wine glass from the body The body is turned upside down and the base is then inserted into the top and glued on A pipe cleaner is then wrapped around the bottom of the glass and an eye-hook glued to the top “People often ask us how we came up with the idea to put tractors in a snow globe ” says Linda “It goes back to the question what kind of Christmas present do you give to someone who already has everything? I wanted something different for my dad for Christmas We go to a lot of toy and craft shows and one day I got the idea to put a farm toy inside a snow globe ” She says it’s important to find the right tractors “They have to be just the right size and they can’t be too heavy or the base won’t support them ” Their Christmas tree ornaments generally sell for $10 apiece plus S&H although the price depends on the tractor model “Let us know which tractor model you want and we can custom make the ornament for you Or if you already have the tractor just send it to us ” says Linda Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Linda’s Country Crafts W11794 Raube Rd Brandon Wis 53919 ph 262 623-1858; www facebook com/Lindas-Country-Crafts-362937187234464
