Moonshine Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Summer Melaas

Designer Tips
Punch a hole in the top center of each mason jar blank (available in copper, brass and sterling silver). If desired, tumble-polish or sand the blanks to remove any surface blemishes.
Stamp desired pattern on each charm. New to metal stamping? See Metal Stamping 101.
Apply Stamp Enamel per package instructions.
Cut approx. 2" of 22-gauge wire, add a turquoise rondelle bead, and either make simple wire loops at each end, or create a wire-wrapped connector to connect the ear wire to the mason jar charm. New to jewelry-making? For instructions on creating, opening and closing loops, see, Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
Polish to a high shine with EuroTool Ultra polishing pads.
