Retired - Ziggy 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. Using the waffle face on the 12 face hammer, texturize your Vintaj natural brass north star stamping. Hammer it pretty heavily so the entire surface is covered in the waffle pattern.
2. Use the Vintaj Relief Block to sand the surface of your star stamping.
3. Place onto an eye pin 1 Preciosa 6mm bicone in jet hematite and then create a simple wire loop after the bead. Make a large enough loop so that the star stamping can be linked to it and will hang nicely.
4. Open the simple wire loop that you just made and link it to your star stamping, close the link. Open the loop on the other side of the bead and link this to your earring hook. Close the link back up.
5. All done! Enjoy!
