Description

Have you ever looked inside a computer? The colors and patterns are quite beautiful. So, I decided to recycle the computer parts into a necklace.

Instructions

  1. Small 114105 2f2016 04 29 135516 computer%2bjewelry1b

    I picked a part of the RAM that I wanted to use for my necklace and cut it using tin snips. Then I sanded the edges to make sure it was smooth.

    I used a punch that is made for punching holes in metal and added a hole at the top and the bottom of the cut piece of RAM...

    I placed a jump ring through each hole and added a charm to the bottom ring.

    I attached a chain to the top ring then closed the chain with another jump ring.
