Cowgirl Cuff Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Tiffany White Designer Tips
Use the pein side (rounded) of your hammer to texturize the surface of the copper metal strip on the steel block. Using your metal shears, cut a 3/4 inch by 4 inch piece of patterned brass sheet metal . File the corners on both pieces of metal so they have a smooth round edge. Layer the brass piece on top of the copper piece and center it. Tape it together with transparent tape, but not in the center or on the edges. Mark 3 spots on the metal with a permanent marker: one in the center, and one near each end of the brass sheet. Using the hole punching side of the riveting tool, make three holes where your marks are on the metal. You can go through both layers at once. Continued Below...

Using the riveting side of the riveting tool, and three rivets, secure the two pieces of metal together. Antique the bracelet flat by dipping it into Novacan Black Patina. Use the sanding sponge to take off the top layer of patina. Use the polishing pads to make the brass nice and shiny. The pattern will really pop now. Use the bracelet bending pliers to shape the metal into a cuff. Seal the bracelet with a quick spray of the resin spray.
