Trimming Charms for Making Recycled Jewelry

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Jason and I'm here on behalf of expertvillage.com today. I'm making beaded necklaces out of things I've found. The charm I've chosen today is this skull somebody just gave me. It's a bit broken up. It used to have two more cross bones on it. It has these two holes in the top which make it real good for a necklace. So, I'm going to remove these other two cross bones on here and it's made from a really lightweight metal so a pair of scissors or pliers will work well. I'm just putting a little pressure, not a lot, just enough to bend the bone. That one's having a little harder time, there we go. We've taken the skull that had the cross bones on it and cut them off and now we will use our dremel here to smooth those out so we don't get cut on them later on. So for now, that's our charm and now I will show you the beads."
