Retired - Sea and Sky Earrings

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by watching the metal stamping technique shown in the first half of our video, how to metal punch bracelet blanks and use the EZ Bender tool (you can disregard the instructions for using the EZ Bender tool).
2. Using ImpressArt stamp straight tape, map out your letters in the center of one gold stamping blank. Use your hammer and the BeadSmith lowercase stylish italic letter punches to punch the word "sea." Remove the tape.
3. Squeeze some ImpressArt stamp enamel into the letter impressions and wipe away the excess with a paper towel. Set the pendant aside.
4. Take 1 gold earring hook and use flat nose pliers to twist the loop at the bottom so it faces forward rather than sideways.
5. Using pliers, open a jump ring. Slide it through the hole at the top of the stamped pendant and also through the loop at the bottom of the earring hook. Close the jump ring.
6. Slide 5 blue Miyuki Delica seed beads onto the wire tip of the earring hook, and push them past the bend so they sit over the loop where the pendant hangs.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 to make the second earring, stamping the word "sky" onto the second blank. Enjoy your earrings!
