Here’s a super fun jewelry piece I made using a scrabble tile game piece. I wrapped the edges of the game tile with copper tape and soldered around the edges. No glass involved! I also soldered a jump ring to the top to hang it from.
These are great for a necklace, charm bracelet, fob, cell phone charm, hanging from your cars review mirror, just about any place.
I just finished my latest collage pin. I used an old black and white image of the Eiffel Tower and also a tiny image of a couple in love. The base is from an old French text book. It took awhile to cut the couple out. If you’re having trouble cutting out tiny images be sure to have a good sharp small pair of scissors, if they have cushion in the handle that helps alot. I use the Cutterbee brand, very comfy. Also try to keep your hand that holds the scissors still and move the paper instead. With some practice this will help your cutting improve.
See my previous post for tips on soldering:
