Introduction: Abstract Face 3D Printed Jewelry
I saw those Picasso inspired abstract face jewelry in several art galleries and museums. Always wanted a set, but the price was too much for my student wallet. Here's how to make a knock-off with a 3D printer and a little elbow grease.
Supplies
3D printed parts
sanding paper, craft knife, plastic filler
primer
spray paint
jewelry findings
Step 1: 3D PRINTING
Here are STL files, ready to print, no need to adjust the size. Print at the highest quality to reduce the amount of sanding and filling.
Step 2: BRACELETS
Dip each bracelet's arm in hot water. Bend them either over your wrist or use a round object, like a small bottle. Wear gloves to protect from heat.
Step 3: PREP WORK
Depending on the quality of your prints, clean all parts using combination of sanding paper, plastic filler and craft knife.
Use primer to prep before painting.
Spray paint, I used gold and silver paint, but you can choose your own colors.
Step 4: FINDINGS
Use strong glue to adhere earring and brooch findings to the faces.
