Free jewellery making supplies?
« on: July 12, 2018, 11:32:00 AM »
About to bin some of the metal circle rings used in making jewellery and some earring hook bits that I bought when I first moved here thinking I could try making jewellery to fill my time. Needless to say, the interest in that died down very quickly and years later, I just have these little bits hanging around taking up space in a little storage container.

Could easily bin it but if somebody enjoys making jewellery or has a use for them, I can post them to you so it's slightly less you need to buy (I'll pay for postage). Wouldn't even be worth donating to a charity shop so the other option is the bin lol. Going through a house clearing at the moment and I feel bad chucking things in the bin without at least trying.
My, how time flies....

Not to sound overly picky, but can you post a photo of what parts you have and how much we're talking about?  I am about to order some things, not for jewelry-making specifically, but I'll be needing some little O-rings.  If it's not too much stuff, I could make a home for it in my workbench.

It's not a lot at all. It's bare minimum (posted it on a local "free" page just in case somebody wanted it but nobody replied - imagining because it wasn't a lot at all). Let me try to find the picture I took (will be without the storage case as I want to keep that for my board games storage lol)

I did need those little rings, but I don't know what I would do with the rest of the things... well, maybe I could the earring hooks, eventually... *ponder*

If nobody else wants the items, I can give the lot a home in my workbench and put the rings to use.  But if anybody else is interested, I'm going to have to order what I need from eBay, anyway, so I'd likely just get the rings with that order, so I'm fine with someone who wants the jewelry parts taking them.

To be honest, I can't even imagine anybody wanting them as it's not really enough to start the hobby, it's just enough to add to an already stock of supplies. Will give it a bit longer but I'm sure you'll probably be the only one interested haha can bin whatever you don't want, I just hate binning things if I don't have to so I'd rather get rid of some things than bin the lot even though they aren't expensive items.

I hate binning things, too.  Let's try to avoid that.  My workbench has space, and there's one shelf of one cupboard that I have devoted to little things like this.  If nobody has a need/want for them, I'll give them a home (and put some of it to use).

Maybe you should PM Son of Sailor.  He told me he's just got a Prince Albert and is looking for some decorations.

Those silhouette thingies might be just the right look.
