About

Do you have any decorative tins that you love but want to find a new purpose for? Learn how to take those tin treasures and transform them into wearable art.

Learn about different types of decorative tins and how to safely cut them down and shape them for use in jewelry. You'll be using stencils, scissors, metal sheers, and metal punches to create shapes, a planishing hammer to flatten, a drill press to create holes, and a dapping set to give the flat metal dimensionality. 

Details
