Hidden Ecosystem Cuff Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Cindy Morris
Designer Tips
Stamp, hammer and punch holes in the copper until you are satisfied.
File any sharp edges.
Wrap the strip around a small bottle (aspirin size works well).
Bend the ends in about ½ turn with the Wrap n Tap pliers (or use a pipe or mandrel).
To patina: Put enough hot water in a bowl to fully submerge the bracelet. Add a tiny spoonful of LOS gel and stir. Put your bracelet in, pull it out after it oxidizes.
