Woodcarved Pins
I have been carving pins for the last five or six years, and they have been very popular. Some people prefer refrigerator magnets and any pin can be made into a refrigerator magnet by substituting a magnet for the pin back. Also, most of these pins can be made in a larger size with a hole in the back, so that they can be hung on a wall.
