What type of tool makes those cute little smiles on "people" beads?
I hope you know what I mean, I was just looking at Lezlie's CK snowmen, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CK-Lampwork-...item4d080f1168
Maybe I'm wrong in assuming this is a tool? Is it a leather working tool or a woodworkers tool? Anyone know?

I use a turkey trusser. If you google images 'turkey trussing needle' you can see the kind I mean. It's got a round loop at one end and the other end is pointed. Usually they come with the turkey baster package at dollar stores. They are my most used tool. The loop is fine for starting a mouth and the other pointy end is good for pushing it up to the cheeks.

Great idea. But, if you google "turkey trusser" as I did, it's very confusing.

I agree, which is why I mentioned the other. I guess it's called different things in different places. They come with every turkey baster I've ever bought and I never used either on a turkey.lol

You can also bend a thick piece of brass around something round and then push it into the end of one of those exacto knife razor holders.

I bought a stainless cuticle pusher at the beauty supply. One end has a large smile and the other a small one. Works perfect every time.

I have a tool used for eating crab. It has two prongs on one end & a shovel/scoop thingy on the other end.
