How to make brass earrings?

Intro collection came together over a longer period of time. I wanted to create light and a minimal piece for every day. A piece that makes you feel feminine and chic in such an effortless way. ONA earrings are really simple to make with few tools that you will find in every home.

 

 MATERIAL

  •  Brass sheet
  • Shape for tracing
  • Pen
  • Hammer
  • Metal file or sanding paper
  • Scissors for metal cutting
  • Dremmel or drill or metal hole punch
  • Sand cushion ( optional )
  • Wooden round hammer ( optional )
  • Earhook

 

 

STEP 1

Trace the desired shape onto the brass sheet

STEP 2

Cut out the shape ( be careful with the sharp edges)

STEP 3

Texture the piece with the hammer. You could use the metal block or a hard surface

STEP 4

File the rough edges with a metal file or sanding paper until its smooth

STEP 5

If you are using metal hole punch just make a hole in the middle.

If you are using Dremel or drilling machine first mark the drilling area and dent it slightly with a nail or whatever you have available if. When drilling its important to place a piece of wood or a foam underneath to protect yourself and the design.

 

STEP 6

The next step is optional.

If you would like your piece slightly curved use sandbag or a firmer cushion.

Wash the piece and dry.

Connect brass with the ear hook and you are done…….
