This technique can be used to create unusual jewelry with a Goth, Fantasy, or Punk Rock effect and is really fun to make!

Now, this technique does take a bit of practice so don't be discouraged if you don't get it right on the first try - as I always say, soft soldering takes practice and repetition and you have to have that stick-to-it-ivenss!

Happy summer!

Make With Me! Chunky Stone Soft-Soldered Necklace Tutorial

 

I said I would be releasing a new video every Friday on my YouTube channel, but I think I am going to release this one a day early because tonight they are calling for snow and ice—lots of ice!—and I'd hate to lose power and not be able to upload it for you!

I'm excited about this next project and I think you are going to love it! I think that a beginner could do it but you should know the basics first and of course have all the tools and materials needed for the project (I always list all of those in the description below the video, by the way.)

In this video I demonstrate how to turn something as simple as wire and a few beads into an amazing necklace that you can personalize, just using a simple soldering iron!

I teach this technique step-by-step, and you can follow along and work at your own pace - that's what I love about videos! I hope you join me for this one and while you're there don't forget to subscribe!
