Love this clever tip to secure tiny pieces while sanding from @pyrus_designs -
βHereβs a little trick that helps me get a grip on tiny pieces I want to sand or when Iβm trying to evenly sand the back of frames... I use a pink eraser because it gently molds around the piece and helps keep it from slipping as you sand. πβ Thank you for sharing this!!! Karen has shared a few tips with us and Iβm so grateful ππ Go check her awesome work! Also a really easy way to share a tip with me is if you share it on your feed and tag me in the video or images! ππ#metalsmithing #metalsmith #metalsmithsociety
