Instructions

    Take your two earring wires and place them on your stamping block. Begin lightly hammering the wires making sure not to over flatten areas.

  2. Small 110936 2f2015 09 10 092854 earringwires 11

    If the edges of the wires are sharp, file them down until they are smooth. Sometimes hammering can also cause the earring wires to shift in shape. Use your pliers to re-shape the earrings.

  3. Small 110936 2f2015 09 10 092800 earringwires 15

    Twist open a jump ring and attach your earring wires to your pendant. Twist closed.
