Recently I showed you how to make a faux rusty bracelet using hardware. I’m using pieces from a toy kit from Dollar Tree, and teaching you how you can make FOUR different pieces of jewelry by using this single $1 box. Last week’s piece was a little grungy style-wise; this time I’m going with a more sleek look.
- Metal Toy Kit
- Jewelry Glue or Super Glue
- Embossing ink and powders
- Chain
Step two: Apply embossing ink. I did this with an embossing ink pen and colored on the hex nuts.
Step three: Add the embossing powder to the piece. Shake off the excess, and heat it to melt the powder onto the metal. Let it cool and don’t touch it yet. The metal will be extremely hot!
Step four: Add a chain to the charm after it has cooled. I used an old bracelet.
