If you ever have a ball fall off a piece after you set your stone (🤬🤷🏼‍♀️😭) @meritmade showed us a way to fix that! She soldered a ball onto a wire, drilled a hole where the ball needed to go (the drilled hole matched the gauge of the wire) then riveted the ball back into place! 🙌🏻🎉🤓 I love the problem solving! Next time you come up with a unique solution (isn’t that what we do on a regular basis?!?
