Here is a polishing tip from @tuppenceanddelilah - “Just wanted to share this tip I use for finishing and polishing small hoop charms for my bangles, bracelets and necklaces. I have a set of paintbrushes in all different sizes ( they're my husband's actually but sssshhhh 😁) which I use like a little wooden mandrel. What's great is they work on super small things they are easy to hold and cheap to replace. I keep them as brushes (have to they're not mine!) but you could cut them down if you wanted to.” This is such a smart idea! Thank you so much for sharing with us! #polishingtips #polishingsmallthings #polishingjewelry
