Step 1: Confirm the Size of the Earrings

Use scissors to trim off a square piece of silver for usage.

Step 2: Heat Up and Cool Down

Place the square silver piece on the heating platform and heat it evenly to soften it. Then put it into the cool water and please be careful about the heat.

Step 3: Pattern Making

Use scissors to trim the barks of same size. Stack the silver and the bark together into the tablet machine, adjust the machine and start pressing. After pressing, the silver’s contacting side with the bark would achieve the pattern of the bark.

Step 4: Design Drawing

Turn aside the silver to its non-pattern side and draw the outlines of the leaf on it with a pencil. Then use scissors to cut off 4 pieces of leaf-shape silver pieces according to the outlines.

Step 5: Shaping

The trimmed silver pieces will change their shapes due to their softness. Now we place them onto the metal platform and hammer them slightly to make them become smooth again. Put the silver pieces onto the metal mould and place the circle metal mould upon the silver pieces. Hammer the mould slightly and make them bend.

Step 6: First Polishing

The trimmed silver piece’s incision would be sharp and we shall use polishing tools to make them smooth. Next, use tools like tweezers to fix the shape.

Step 7: Forming

Stack up the front and rear of two silver pieces and check the drilling positions. According to the positions, pick 2 pieces of silver from the 4 for drilling.
