Make it in Metal

By Linda Peterson for AMACO

Create the "Make it in Metal" jewelry with pendant.

Materials:

• Amaco® ArtEmboss®— Medium Pewter, Bright Gold
• Double-sided tape
• FiberMark: White Board
• Jewelry findings of choice

Steps:

1. Cut out pattern from white board. Place pattern onto Pewter ArtEmboss® and cut out, leaving 1/4" border around all sides. Fold metal around to back. Apply double-stick tape to back. Cut out additional Pewter ArtEmboss® from pattern and apply to back.
    
2. Run wooden stylus around metal to make them lay flat. Use wooden stylus to make tiny indentations around border.
    
3. Crumple up a piece of ArtEmboss® Bright Gold. Open and flatten out as smooth as possible allowing small creases to remain. Cut into asymetrical shape. Apply double-stick tape to back and press onto front of pendant where desired.
    
4. From a scrap piece of pewter, draw a spiral with the stylus then cut out. Apply double-stick tape to back and apply to front center of pendant.
    
5. Punch with 1/16" paper punch. Add jump rings and other jewelry findings to complete pendant and earings.
