To create your own heart earrings, you will need one of Metal Maven's pattern pressings. The one below is a good pattern to use for this project. We also have many other all-over background patterns to choose from on our website.



(Before starting this project I blackened my whole pressing using Gosiba and sanded it with 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper. You can use your choice of blackening agent before cutting, or you can wait until you've cut your pieces out.)



MAKE A TEMPLATE

First you will need to plot where you want your earring cutouts on your pressing. You can freehand your designs or make a template.


TIP: An easy way to make a reusable see-through template is to find something plastic that you no longer need like a lid to plastic food container!




Cut the middle out of the lid.
