Emboss or etch Vintaj Metal blanks using the Celtic Weave and India Archway DecoEmboss and Climbing Ivy and Bird of Paradise DecoEtch dies. Buff the blanks with the Metal Reliefing block to highlight the raised designs. Punch or drill additional holes in the embossed blanks for linking. If desired, rivet select pieces together for added dimension. Create the necklace by linking a variety of beads, jump rings, ring, chain and a clasp. Attach each side of the necklace to the centerpiece. For added interest, position the clasp along the side of the necklace. If desired, Vintaj Glaze can be used as a sealer for natural metals to prevent oxidation. It is fast-drying, durable and permanent with a satin finish.
