I bought emery sand it was about $4.00 per pound, but sadly I don't
remember what the website was. |
You can get a HUGE bag of crushed walnut shells for under $10, at the feed store. I got 25 pounds for under $10.
|
Harbor freight sells a box of crushed walnut shells.

As the DH "polishes" his brass, he has a HUGE bag of corn cob media for his tumbler. Recently, I used this to fill several pincushions. Worked fantastically, is less expensive than the walnut shells and it removes the nut allergy issue.

Shavings from pencil sharpener if you old enough to still have one:thumbup:

I got emery sand from eBay. It sharpens the needles.

I use either super fine steel wool or crushed walnut shells. I only use them myself or gift them to family so no worries about allergies.

The last ones that I made, I used kitty litter. Yes, kitty litter, but get a good brand, I think mine was Scoop Away. The weight was good and the abrasiveness is supposed to keep pins sharp, much like the sand idea.

The cat
Otter my cat likes is made from ground corn cobs, would that work for pin cushions? |
