What does the icicle look like? I have a bunch I made that look like the clear antique icicles...very thin and delicate. Shoot me a picture and I'll see if it looks like the ones I have.

Yeah, if it's boro - easy peasy (unless of course - it's in a gazillion
pieces!).

Post some pictures. I may be able to recreate them, but I'd need to see them first.

Well, Dayton is a little far from where I'm at in Virginia....

But, they don't look too difficult. How soon do you need them?
