This is a simple solution for keeping tiny parts together in the pickle pot from @zivanora - Take a ziplock bag and poke holes throughout so that the pickle gets in and out easily. You can tape to the side of the pot. “With this I save time fetching the balls out from the pickle. I also dipped the baggie in the baking soda water.” I love this because anyone can do it and it’s a very inexpensive solution!! Thank you for sharing!! 😘 #jewelrytipoftheday #jewelrycommunity #jewelrymaking
