I'm not sure where I originally saw this tip but thanks to whoever shared it! I used to spend a lot of time looking for small pieces in the tumbler but then someone mentioned using a plastic bottle for their tiny pieces, just drop them in with some tumbling media and water and it works great! I also started threading my hoops onto wire to keep which keeps them all together in the main barrel. I've saved so much time using both if these methods and can't believe I never thought to do it before. #metalsmithtips #jewelrymakingtips https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKlt2YnfoY/?igshid=a2asoa627f0p
