Repurposed Plate into Broken China Jewelry: Step-by-Step Tutorial • In this video, I’ll guide you through the process of transforming a used plate into beautiful broken china earrings using lead-free solder. This DIY jewelry project is perfect for anyone looking to repurpose old plates into unique, wearable art. • Materials Tools: • • Used plate (I sourced mine from Amazon) • Lead-free solder (crucial for safety) • Glass pistol grip cutter • Glass chopping tool • Inland glass grinder • Copper foil • Burnishing tool • Soldering iron • Jump rings • Third-hand tool • Glass cleaner • Glass finishing compound • Step-by-Step Instructions: • 1. Prepare the Plate: • Begin by selecting a used plate with a design you love. Clean it thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue. • 2. Cut the Plate: • Safety Tip: Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect your eyes and hands from sharp edges and debris. • Score the plate along your desired pattern using a glass pistol grip cutter. • Use a glass chopping tool to carefully break the scored lines into smaller, more manageable pieces. • 3. Grind the Edges: • Use an Inland glass grinder to smooth out the sharp edges of each piece. This step is crucial to ensure a safe and comfortable finish for your jewelry. • Safety Tip: Always wear a dust mask while grinding to avoid inhaling glass particles. • 4. Clean the Glass: • Clean each piece of glass with a glass cleaner to remove any dust and ensure that the copper foil adheres properly. • 5. Apply Copper Foil: • Wrap each piece of glass with copper foil, ensuring that it is evenly applied. • Use a burnishing tool to firmly press the foil onto the glass for a secure fit. • 6. Solder the Foil: • Safety Tip: Work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves to avoid burns. • Heat your soldering iron and apply lead-free solder over the copper foil, securing it onto the glass. • Use a third-hand tool to hold the jump ring in place. Solder both sides of the jump ring to ensure it’s securely attached to the glass. • 7. Final Touches: • After soldering, clean the piece once more and apply a glass finishing compound for a polished look. • Safety Reminders: • • Always use lead-free solder when making jewelry to ensure it’s safe to wear. • Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume extractor to avoid inhaling solder fumes. • Keep a first aid kit nearby in case of any accidents. • Subscribe for More Craft Videos! • Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more creative DIY projects: Subscribe Here • Related DIY Videos: • Check out a similar DIY video here. • Here is my Etsy store link: • https://www.etsy.com/shop/AshBlissful... • LINK TO MY FIRST STAINED GLASS JEWELRY TUTORIAL: • • Stained glass jewelry tutorial, solde... • LINK TO MY VIDEO ON HOW TO CUT GLASS BY HAND: • • How I cut glass by hand for crafts an... • As an Amazon Associate, I do earn from qualifying purchases, and this means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you.
