Here is a Moleskin tip from @sterling_perch - “I loooove Moleskin!! It keeps my jewelry from getting scratched and gives a little padding to my tools. Here are just some of the ways I use it in my studio…
Moleskin vice to keep items secure
Moleskin pliers. Great for gripping!
Moleskin ring bender. I prefer Moleskin over the plastic pieces. Fewer scratches (not scratch free but definitely helps)
Moleskin burnisher. Nice and smooth on my bezels.
This moleskin has a sticky backing so it stays put! Hope this helps make your jewelry making just a little bit easier!!” Thank you Liz for this compilation of images using Moleskin!! So helpful!!! We appreciate your time! #jewelrytools #makingjewelry
