Hi all I am trying to fill an order for bottle stoppers. The top of the stoppers must have an acrylic cabachon military insignia on them (Army, Air Force and Navy). My problem is I can not find them. Can anyone help? :confused: bob

Try Ed Davidson at yoyospin.com and see if he can cast some blanks for you. Ed produces a line of bottle stopper blanks that have roses, flags, and othe items in clear resin at the top of the blank.Sorry for not providing a limk. I'm posting this from my cell phone. Ain't technology great?

Bob I use the ones that Steve gave you the website to plus some of his flower acrylics and others.

The only thing I've gotton from Yoyospin is an excellent tutorial on making one piece Yo Yo's. So I'm not sure on anything else... but Steve and Bernie's suggestion with Arizona are right on spot.

Ed used to have a Yahoo groups that dealt with nothing but bottlestoppers. He ended that acouple years ago but while he had it he had a group buy of those medals he uses and a whole lot more. He may still have some if you contact him.

But if you google military pins or military lapek pins you will get a whole lot of hits such as this one. http://militarybest.com/navylapelpins.html

Another idea that I have used are golf ball markers. Even though the link below is mostly colleges they do have military listed at the bottom of the page.
