Here is a #diy needle file handle from @spindlekate - “I swiped a few of my kitty’s foam ball cat toys as really inexpensive holders for my smallest needle files.
⠀⠀
Choose a drill bit slightly smaller than file shaft and drill a small hole ¾ of the way into one end of a foam ball.
⠀⠀
The 1.5” diameter balls fit comfortably in hand and it’s easy to swap out files as needed.
⠀⠀
And different colors let me find favorite files quickly.” 🐈 this is such an awesome idea especially for all those cat-loving smithies out there 😄 Thank you so much for sending! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday
