1 pkg #61-514-12 Griffin® Size 4 silk bead cord with needle end, brown
Tools and supplies: scissors, dapping block and punches (#69-199), metal awl (#65-801), E-6000 adhesive (#60-261), metal hole punch (#69-234), thread burner (#69-059)
* NOTE: The 25mm genuine British West African half-penny is old and already heavily patinaed.
TIPS:
* Punch holes in the textured disks and shape into “bowls” using the dapping block. Create another bowl with one of the round filigrees.
* Use an awl to pierce holes in the leather bracelet and secure the filigrees pieces to the leather with needle-end cord. The oval filigree is in the center, but hidden under the half-penny.
* Stack the remaining items, and secure them to each other and the filigrees with adhesive.
