Handmade Jewelry.There many steps on how to make a handmade jewelry, but how about instructions on how make easy necklace or earring stands? This how-to-make article will show you how. It would be a Special Gift for Valentines Day.
The materials you'll be needing are:
different kinds of templates (of your choice)
black/white foamcore board
3mm boxboard sheet
glue
double-sided black tape (12mm wide)
tube black acrylic paint
paint brush
a thick card for your template
Stanley knife
The Procedure:
Print out the templates, resize it if you want with the use of photocopier.
Paste your template to your thick card using a glue and cut out the shape.
Using a biro, trace the shape of your template onto a foamcore board. Use a stanley knife tocut out the shapes, if there are straight edges use a ruler.
The stand at the back of the template is usually a bit shorter, so the length from point to end would be 22cms. Trace this shape onto the boxboard then cut it out. For the earring stand, you can use the same template, just centered the ruler through point and ran a line each side of ruler – 3cms wide and 9 cms long.
Score a line after you finished cutting out the stand, about a cm down to make the bend. You can refer the stand to a picture frame if you aren't sure about it.
Attach a piece of double sided tape to the 1cm block on the side which already has a scored line. This should be attached to the foamcore.
Next is you have to bring them both together. You will find it a bit juggle, but it's ok. Then line up the two bottom edges. Don't worry if the stand will hang out a few mmls, it really don't matter because when it's standing upright, it won't be seen from the front. After that, you can now attach the stand to the foamcore on the other side of the tape.
Lastly, because the boxboard comes in natural cardboard color, you have to paint it to match the white or black, have it dry for a couple of hours, then DONE!
