Learn How To Make A New Years Eve Necklace And Earrings

Posted on by

The leaf shape of the new Dewlet dies to inspire me to create a piece of jewelry everyone can make. Combining two different colors of metallic sheets, a gold one and a silver using SHEET Metal from Imagine, you can shape a shiny but still elegant necklace with a matching set of earrings. This project would make excellent New Years Eve celebration jewelry.

Skill: Advanced
Time: 1 hour

Directions


Step 1

Cut leaves from the SHEET Metal ATC cards and the gold colored aluminum foil. For this set, you will need 10 pieces for the necklace and 2 pieces for each earring.


Step 2

Lay the leaves on a flat surface, place them in the desired design and take a photo to follow the shape later.


Step 3

Use the round shape embossing tool and press into the leaves to create a hammered look.


Step 4

Set a small piece of Tear It! Tape on the back side of each leaf and add a drop of jewelry glue. This step will keep the leaves together in order to proceed to the next one and allow time for the jewelry glue to dry well.


Step 5

To set the waxed cord you can either punch holes and use jump rings or you can just glue it to the back of the leaves. The second option gives a more a steady result on the form of the necklace.


Step 6

To make the earrings, attach two leaves together, punch a hole and place the earring hook.
