The View Necklace Tutorial

Created by: Cindy Morris

Designer Tips

Stamp front piece first (I used the "l" to make diagonal lines on the window frame). Flatten. Patina with Win-Ox™ and clean with steel wool.
Clean back piece with rubbing alcohol. Decoupage or seal an image onto the back piece – allow to dry.
Punch holes in the top piece only with the hole punch side of the rivet tool.
Place over the back piece and mark hole location at top only. Attach a rivet bail with a 5/32" long (1/16" diameter) rivet.
Then punch a second hole in bottom piece and rivet together with a 3/32" long (1/16" diameter) rivet.
String 2 heishi + 1 brass + 2 heishi in the center to make the pendant lay correctly.
The finished length is 17".
