Bat Bracelet
This curved bat sits just right on your wrist, ready to fly. We love him in his natural naked brass finish but you can patina him with heat or use a painted patina. Read our painted patina tutorial here.
Ingredients:
- 1 long brass bat- 5 antique brass jumprings, 7mm
- 3 1/2" antique brass extender chain
- 1 brass spring ring clasp
- 2 tiny brass owls
- 1 antique brass headpin, 1"
- 1 red Swarovski rhinestone ball
Tools:
- Wire cutter- Round nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
1. Using your round pliers bend the tip of one bat wing around
to form a loop as shown. Repeat with other wing tip.
2. Using your hands, gently bend
the brass bat into a curve that
fits the front of your wrist.
3. Using your cutters, cut extender chain into two sections, on
2 inches, one 1 1/5 inches long.
4. Thread Swarovski rhinestone ball
onto head pin and loop using
round nose pliers. Open loop on
rhinestone ball and attach to 1
1/5 inch chain section. Using your
chain nose pliers attach spring
clasp to 2 inch chain section.
5. Using your chain nose pliers
and jump rings, attach chain
sections to each bat wing
using two jump rings on the
end of each wing for strength.
Close jump rings securely. Use
remaining jump rings to attach
both owls back-to-back
as shown to create a two-sided
owl charm near the clasp.
