After watching a couple YouTube video tutorials, I felt confident enough to give it a go. Now, keep in mind this is my first try ever with a solder iron. My mom use to do soldering at a past job. Her pearl of wisdom for me was not to burn myself. Gotta love that kind of advice. I managed to not burn myself. This is what I came up with:
Because I like to really make things usable, I put a different art to use on the other side making a double sided pendant.
It was pretty difficult for me to get the jump rings soldered onto the pendant. It's not perfect but good enough for my first try. I would love to know what you think!

I like it! Your first one is so much better than the several I have done! I just cannot see to get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteSomething that helps me...you can get a stand with clips and a magnifying glass on it at Harbor Freight. It also has a light. That helped to hold my pendant when I was putting the ring on!
Love it! You have done a great job, especially for your first one.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job! I'd love to learn how to do that. You've inspired me. ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteJulie that's awesome! I love it - I always thought that looked like it would be really hard. That's totally clever to put something different on the other side. Great job! JenT
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous. Good for you for getting to it, I bet you are so happy you did.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I always wondered how people made those. It looks perfect from here!
