DIY Designs » Circle K
Learn simple soldering!
Learn how to use a butane torch to solder sterling silver, copper and gold-filled blanks to make simple, yet stunning pendants.
Circle K
We have a new charm alphabet that is sure to impress. These Sterling Silver Letters are bold and fabulous. This soldered pendant is a perfect personalized way to show some love. We took the Alphabet Letter K, and cut off the top loop to solder it neatly to a circle blank. Add in a few solderable accents, like our new tiny copper hearts and silver hearts too. Our Introduction to Soldering Class is a great place to start.
