Anybody got a really good source? Thanks, Jo

I need the little white cardboard boxes with cotton in them. Can't afford the really fancy velvety ones.

I buy quite a bit of stuff from them and their prices are pretty good....Mel

I think the Rio Grande, Fire Mountain, etc. companies sell in smaller quantities.

Thinking "outside the box" (lol)

, if you have more time than money, an option would be to make little velvet pouches. Velvet can be very inexpensive, and you could easily make each pouch within a few minutes on a sewing machine. "The piece comes in a handmade velvet pouch" would be a good sales tool!

Thanks for the ideas. The reason I need boxes is that I have display cases at a couple of different stores and the jewelry looks so much better in boxes in the cases. Otherwise, the pouches will work for other situations. Great!

Thanks all,
Jo

I came across another one awhile back that I was going to try, but I can't find that link!

Thanks for all the advice. Jo

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
