5 out of 5 starsNeat idea for a keepsake for the kids. My parents just told me they found a ‘bag of teeth’, but no clue which kid or what teeth. Haha! Love this idea for my girls!

5 out of 5 starsExcellent craft activity for my 7 year old granddaughter who has broken her leg and is in plaster for ten weeks.
She proudly handed me a hand painted unicorn last weekend complete with facial features which she’d added.
A great activity for little ones around her age. Grandma Ally. -

Behind the mustache: Alex and Amber

Our very helpful (ahem) office assistant.
Spreading smiles across the world, one rainbow at a time.
After years of working as an art director for advertising agencies from Orlando to Honolulu, I now delight in telling people I make mustaches for a living, out of my country Victorian home in Sanford, Florida. My name is Amber and I'm a mom, vegetarian, Army wife, sister to seven amazing people, and guardian to two fantastic kitties. I love gardening, have visited more than 40 states and enjoy watching New Girl with my husband, Alex.
An average day starts at dawn, with an hour or two of responding to e-mails and organizing a production list for the day. Then I'll move outside to finish up props - sanding the rough spots and drilling holes for the dowels. I finish them up with a washing and hot glue gun. Packing and shipping comes next, a process that consumes a couple hours. From there, I'll spend the rest of my day pouring polymers for new props, photographing and creating new listings, or catching up on more e-mail. It adds up to a lot of hours, but I enjoy the work -- because the world could use a few more mustaches.
My mustache philosophy:
Male and female, young and old, these silly mustaches and lips bring friends and family together in a hilarious way. I'd call that a successful ingredient for any celebration.

Shop policies
We've been making Whisker Sticks since 2009, when we debuted them at our wedding. They were a big hit, so we know they'll be big hits at other people's weddings and parties too. Male and female, young and old, these silly mustaches and lips bring friends and family together in a hilarious way. We'd call that a successful ingredient for any celebration.
Molded in hard plastic from handmade clay originals, all mustaches and lips are very durable and strong. They're also easily cleaned with soap and water. All designs are one-sided. All rough edges on the backsides have been sanded smooth.
