If you decide to make a purchase from Goody Beads, it does benefit my blog at no extra cost to you – though the inspiration is of course, free! The list is a bit lengthy today because you need a few specific tools when it comes to working with metal, but once you make the investment, you’ll probably find you use them quite a bit! I’m going to link to the supplies I used today in case you’re trying to track them down. But that’s why I’m going to walk you through most of the different techniques today, and you can pick and choose which things you would like to try on your own mixed media jewelry piece!
I know, I know – says the girl who does it all the time. There’s a few different metal and jewelry techniques in this piece so I’m going to call it an intermediate piece, but in all honesty, once you learn how to set rivets, how to stamp metal, how to punch holes, and how to assemble leather jewelry, you would actually find this to be a very simple project. I layered a bunch of pieces together to make today’s bracelet design, and it’s a really awesome piece (if I do say so myself). If you read here often, you know I love working with metal.
