Having A Little Fun!

It has been a quite afternoon with my family gone. I decided to enjoy the silence by playing with some of my new toys! My mission was to create sterling silver ball headpins using my torch, Dremel and 22 gauge sterling silver wire.

This first picture shows my torch and a metal pan that I use to protect my work surface. I also use my set of old-cheap jewelry tools. I would hate for my good expensive tools to get damaged...yikes!! You can also see the sterling silver wire.














In this picture you can see the very hot flame and the wire.














This picture shows the wire starting to form a ball at the end...thus creating a ball headpin.














After I torch the silver, I put it in a cool cup of water. Once I remove them from the water you can see that the tips are black from melting them.














Now I take my Dremel and add a polishing tip to the end.














I polish the ends until they are a shiny silver again.













Now that the ball head pins are done I can use these in my jewelry creations! I ended up taking some pear sized Swarovski crystal pearl beads and wire wrapped them with a flower spacer at the bottom.



























These turned out super cute and they were fun to make! I can add them to ear hooks to make a set of earrings, a dangle on a necklace, and so much more. I hope you enjoyed my pictures!
