Here is a tip for #diy sanding sticks from @littleoscilla - “A helpful tip to any newbie metalsmith/jeweler: save money by making your own emery sanding sticks. Use your old ones (or a wooden paint stir stick) and some sandpaper.😊

I figure most metalsmith’s have their own ways of doing this. Some people prefer tape, I like rubber bands. Some prefer rolling the sandpaper, I like scoring the sandpaper and folding. To each there own.✨” Thank you SO much Emily, a super helpful video and if anyone is watching hasn’t made their own please go do it and report back to us ☺️❤️ #sandingsticks #diytools #diysandingsticks #sandingsticks #jewelrymakingtools #jewelersbench #makingjewelry
