Designer Tips:
- Punch eight holes in brass disk with the metal hole punch.
- Personalize the disk with a word or phrase with letter stamps and dome it with the dapping set.
- Patina the disk to darken the recesses of the letters.
- Use a big eye needle to sew the disk and charm onto fabric with hemp cord. Use flat-nose pliers to pull the needle through the fabric (it's tough).
- Use heavy-duty cutters(#69-057) to cut the chain.
- Flatten the choker clamps with flat-nose pliers.
- Overall length is 8". For a different length, adjust the amount of chain.
