Tech #4: Starting to make Jewelry

In tech we started making our pendants. First step to make our pendants was to brainstorm what we wanted the design to be, for our pendants. This is my brainstorming sheet, with my pendant on it.

After this we started to learn how to make the outside of the pendant. You make this with a wire, pliers and a wooden stick, that helps you shape it in a circle shape. This process was hard on my first try, so I had to get another wire to try it again. After this you would make loops at the top of your pendant, then you would make your jump ring.

When we were done shaping the wire into a circle, and making the top part you would get double sided tape from Mr Calvert, and make your design using another piece of wire, and pliers. This part wasn’t difficult for me because I think I already had the hang of it, after I did the first step.

Finally we got solder our pendant together. I was scared at the beginning, but then I realized it wasn’t scary at all. I’m so happy with how my pendant turned out and I can’t wait to make more.

Until my next blog post. Bye!
