With Christmas on it’s way, this is the perfect gift for you or a snow loving friend! Create a beautiful pair of earrings and a matching pendant ready for the festive mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Place the Sterling Silver discs on the metal block. You might wish to secure your blanks to your metal
block using double sided tape or masking tape.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Place the snowflake stamp on the Silver discs and hit the top of the stamp using the hammer to create an impression in the metal. Repeat to create a pattern over the discs. You might wish to practise first using a piece of copper sheet
or blank.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n


Step Three<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Place the centre punch on your discs and hit the top of it with the hammer to make a mark. Repeat
to create a pattern. You can make deeper and lighter marks by varying how hard you hit the stamp with the hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Take the ready-made snowflake pendant and cut the top bail off using tin snips or side cutter
pliers. Remove the bail completely.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n


Step Five<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Grip either side of a jump ring using pliers and twist to open. Thread your snowflake and largest stamped Silver disc onto the jump ring. Reverse the twisting process to close your jump ring. It\u2019s best to use a jump ring made of thicker wire and ensure the two ends align perfectly so it doesn\u2019t come open. If you are able to, solder the jump
ring closed.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n


Step Six<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Thread the pendant onto the Sterling Silver chain.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Seven<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Grip either side of a jump ring using pliers and twist to open, then add your earring and the smallest stamped Silver disc. Reverse the twisting process to close your jump ring. Repeat to make a second earring and add on your Silver
scrolls to the posts.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n


Step Eight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Finish by gently rubbing with a Silver polishing cloth<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
