    A long time ago, someone mention to me that a soldering knife is better than a wood burning tool to write or burn designs on wood, because it was easier to control. Which is why I have one. I have so many tools I bought that I use not for their original purpose 😂.

  • @LifeDIYJosie
    @LifeDIYJosie15 күн бұрын

    Hi Chris, I used them for spices only and didn't fill the containers all the way. I suggest maybe doing 1/2-3/4 only! I used them for sequins and glitters and used the bottom part for heavier items so they don't slide since the frame offers added support! I hope that helps! Thanks for watching and asking 🙏🤗❤️
