Earrings made with copper washers and copper wire!
Copper washers may seem overly industrial for jewelry, but with a little manipulation, they work great. Ever since we started carrying them a couple of weeks ago, I have been experimenting and the results have been fabulous! And I have only scratched the surfaced. These washers would be great linked as bracelets, soldered together for fabulous bib necklaces or dapped into pretty dome shapes!
Everything you need to create hammered copper links! Washers, steel block, and hammers. Oh and some copper wire can add a nice touch!
I chose to distress the washers in using a steel block and multiple hammers. Then I used a little liver of sulfur and blacken the washers and some steel wool to buff them up. The result is the antiqued hammered links that can be used anywhere you would use any other link.
Cool lines created by a texturizing hammer!

Look at all the pretty washers! The assortment pack is great because there are several sizes.
In the center are the earrings seen above before being antiqued!
A little liver of sulfur will easily blacken your washers since they are solid copper. These are all the same washers as above!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my washer blog! Please feel free to ask me any questions about the washers, tools or beads that I used. :0
