Jewelry with washers

[Rainshadow]

Ok, this is a tut on how to make a bunch of stuff with washers! (mostly jewelry)


Patterned Washers

You will need:
Washers
Origami or patterned paper of your choice
Water
Plastic cup
White glue
pencil
skizzors (scissors)
paint brush

To make:
Take your washer and outline the shape onto your decorative paper. Cut the middle out with an x-acto blade, and the outside with skizzors. Glue the paper onto the washer. While thats drying, mix up a mixture, in a plastic cup, of half water, half white glue. When the washer is dry, brush the watered down glue onto the washer. Let dry. Put it on your jewelry of choice.


Triple Necklace:

You will need:
Three washers
hot glue gun/tacky glue
string
jump ring

To make:
Glue the three washers together at the tips, overlapping. Let dry. Put a jump ring through the top washer, and thread on a string or a chain.


Washer & Nut ring:

You will need:

A washer, or nut, that fits around your finger,
decorations, such as beads, glitter,
Hot glue gun

To make:
Take the nut or washer that fits around your finger, and decorate it in any way you want. You can use beads, glitter, scraps of fabric, stones.


Thats it! Hope you liked it! If I find any more, I'll post them.

I think for the ring part, you mean "nut" not "bolt". A bolt is like a screw, and a nut is the part with the hole in it that goes on a bolt.

For some reason, I always have a couple of "them things" hanging around...good ideas!

Maybe you could solder them together? It's not the strongest though, and most people probably don't have a little soldering iron. Just a thought. :)
