I am in the very new process of restoring and remaking some tiny putz houses. All are about 2-1/4" high and most have a brick paper exterior. Pete Oehlman has been fantastic helping me with new brick paper and windows. These aren't fancy little houses by any means, but they have some items I can't seem to find. Does anyone know where I can locate bumpy pipe-cleaner that's pink? And white? This was used as fencing on two of the houses. By the way, this site is invaluable for information on restoring tiny lufah trees and putting new windows/doors in place. Thanks so much!

-------- Anyone have a solution? ------ Thanks --------------------

I have seen them in several colors and in variety color packs at my local hobby lobby craft store...I'm sure they are available on line from any of the craft outlets...they can also be ordered through amazon...

The reason I know is that I have been searching for some in a shiny gold tinsel material...

See if this link helps...
