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

Step 1 Form Loop

Using your round pliers bend the tip of one bat wing around to form a loop as shown. Repeat with other wing tip.

This tutorial (and the other ones I've posted so far) are fun, fairly easy, and incorporate fresh design and fashion trends. Linking to products from my store isn't against any rule, and it certainly isn't mandatory to use them - there are plenty of other great things that could be used in this tutorial - such as a vintage spoon in place of the bat! I hope you've been inspired, and thanks for your kind comment about the bracelet!
