Resin Table Grapes? - Beyond Tiki

Like tiki mugs they’re one of those items that can go for either $1 or $50 depending on the seller. Ebay’s a good source but the shipping of an 8 pound item is often more than the purchased price. I’ve seen lamps, bookends, table grapes, and candle holders made out of those crazy grapes and everyone I met seems to have fond memories of them so I thought a revival would be a natural. I’d love to be able to make a cluster of colored tikis on a vine as a homage.
