I use: Balsa and bass wood, beads, spagetti, wire, hairbrush bristles, 
cardboard, pieces of old tank, ship and plane modesl, bottle caps and 
tops, sheetrock wall anchors, wire nuts, legos, pieces of old computer 
boards, clay, twist-off tops from cool-aid bottles, washers, nylon 
bushings, bicycle reflectors, telephone plugs... etc.  You would be 
supprised what you can find in the sewing section of your local store or

fabric store... eylets, snaps, rings, bobbins, brads, rivets...

YOu can even be creative with a discarded food-coloring bottle!
