PROJECT 4 FOR THE PENDANT


3: MAKE THE CUT Use your 2lb hammer to punch your silver stars.


Place your stars on your bench block and using your ImpressArt stamps create a random pattern across your stars - there really is no ‘right’ design here! If you need to fl atten your stars again after texturing use your nylon hammer as it leaves no marks. I protect the design by using a piece of scrap leather on my block.


4: PREPARE 3


TO DRILL Use your centre punch and hammer to mark each star where you’ll drill for your jump rings. Remember you only need 1 hole in the small star as it’s for the end of the drop.


TIP Marking with a centre punch stops your drill from skittering across your metal.


Move your stars to your benchpeg or wood block and drill your holes - you can then use your ball burr to remove any sharp metal, or if you don’t have one a fi le or sanding stick will work too. Now is also a good time to remove any sharp edges from your stars with a sanding stick.


If you have a tumbler you can use it to give your stars an extra shine or polish using your favourite method.


5: JOIN THE STARS Link your star cascade together using your oval jump rings and pop onto your chain to complete your necklace.
