Witchy Necklace Tutorial
Created by: Jaci Boston
Designer Tips
- Keep the saw blade well lubricated to create ease while sawing.
- To avoid breaking your blades, keep the saw upright, without tilting, while you're sawing.
- For perfect hole placement on the triangle, take extra time and care by using a ruler to measure and mark up where you want to punch your holes.
- If you use a Sharpie to mark up your metal, you can easily wipe it off with a polishing pad.
- Don't worry if the edges of your triangles are jagged, you can file them to perfection.
