Dapped Love Earrings Tutorial

Designer Tips

Stamp "Love" or desired word or pattern on 19mm brass disk, and antique it using Novacan. (See Metal Stamping 101)
Punch a hole near the top of both disks using the 1/16" side of the 2-hole punch, or your favorite plier punch.
Dome the disk. See Blog Article: How to Dome and Dap
Give the domed disk a matte look using #0000 steel wool, or polish to a high shine with an Ultra polish pad.
With one piece of wire, make a wrapped loop attached to the charm. Add a metal bead, crystal bead, and metal bead, then finish the wrap. See Jewelry Basics 101.
Open ear wire and attach charm.
Repeat.
