How about melting holes through with a heated needle? Stink a bit I suppose, but it'll go through.
Do AOL still supply endless CDs on request?

Hmm, that I could do outside, I have that kind of room I think... but how to heat the needle? Keep in mind I'm already looking at easily 300 CDs for the torso bit and probably another 200 for the skirt... so just a needle in a lighter won't do, and I'm not sure a candle would get it hot enough... and I doubt that I can get to an electrical outlet outside, tho' I could be wrong.

Sort of. I have a large number of friends who are retail schlobs, and they're all too happy to empty out their bins for me at work. Also, I'm in a college town so a brief swing around the apartment complexes at mail time leads to literal cases of them addressed to 'resident'.

Soldering Iron? mind, if you have one of those, odds are a small hand drill is there too....

One can use a sharp knife to "dig" in using the point...think like melonballing....

Have you no gas ring?

My landlord gives me a shifty eye when I light scented candles. No gas ring -- though damn it'd be cool, hehe.

I have a soldering iron, but no place to plug it in out-of-doors... I could probably test it out to see how much it smells indoors. Hm.

Candles are dodgy... I recall one luscious lady who surrounded her bath tub with these "tealights"....and ended up romantically setting the (acrylic) bathtub ablaze.....
Candles I always feel are a nono outside of lanterns (I have a few of those in case of power cuts)
