When I was selling ornaments I always intentionally added a tiny wood

validate their suspicion that the lightweight ornaments MIGHT be
hollow.
Plus it made it easier for them to show it off to their friends, "Look,

it's hollow," (shake, shake).

Now that's a good idea. I know what you mean about them not having a
clue of what they have in their hands. I know some are so uneducated
that they don't understand that a maple ball with an ebony icicle is
not accomplished with paint. Hollowing is completely out of their
sphere of referenece.

You may have something there...

ball within a pierced ball?*G*

simple.. turn round shapes and have the elves hammer them gently square...
