Description
 
Vintage thimbles, sewing, sewing thimbles, vintage jewelry supplies. Just drill, perfect for making tassels. This is my FAVORITE use for them! Antique silver, silver tone. Measures 19mm tall and 20mm wide. Dimpled just like regular thimble. Sold ONE each. See all the photos for some examples of things I have done with vintage thimbles. You could spray paint this one, or paint with Swellegant Metal Coating and then add patina.....alcohol inks, Gilders Paste. To drill: I go with EASY. Put it upside down on your bench block and from the inside, tap it with a center punch (find them in the TOOLS section of this site!) This makes a pilot guide for the hole. Then take a decent sized NAIL and tamp it with your hammer on the bench block til it goes through the metal. You can file the hole on top if it is a bit rough. Cover that with a rondelle bead or wafer bead, or a bead cap....or both. VOILA! Sweet success!
