How To Make A Wire Ring Blank For Soft Soldering

 

Hey friends! I have a brand new video on my YouTube channel - it's really more of a  complete workshop where I teach you how I made a basic wire ring blank for soft soldered jewelry.

The supplies needed are minimal:

wire, a ring mandrel, your soldering setup, and whatever you want to attach to your ring! 

I have another soft soldered ring tutorial that I'll talk about in my next blog post so be sure to check back so that you can check that one out too! 

Hope summer is being good to you!

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!

Easy Stamped Solder Pendant - Video Tutorial

 

I'm happy to finally have some time to make some new jewelry making videos, and I just put up a new video yesterday on my YouTube channel, so be sure to check it out!

In this video I demonstrate one of the techniques in my first book, Boho Chic Jewelry: 25 Timeless Designs Using Soldering, Beading, Wire Wrapping, and More, where we use rubber stamps to make impressions into molten solder...and the results are beautiful!

In the video I demonstrate how to do this technique on copper and brass, and we use  store-bought blanks, making this technique even more easy to do and more accessible.

Be sure to check out the video and as always, I list all of the tools and materials that I use in the project in the description below the video.
