Metal crafting is one of the oldest traditions all over the world. With the basic tools and techniques, you can easily start your own metal craft projects at home. The following are just some of the projects you can include in your metal crafting hobby:
Punched tin. This is a traditional craft in Mexico, which was also utilized by early American settlers for their cabinet fronts, bed warmers and lampshades. All you have to do is to punch holes in a copper sheet or tin sheet using a hammer and awl. You can also buy tin punch patterns and kits in any craft stores or online. Just punch a pattern in your tin can to create a simple but artistic lantern.
Bottle cap. With old bottle caps, you can make exciting crafts - you can create necklaces, earrings and even bracelets. Just punch a hole in the bottle cap, and then attach it to an earring hoop or a chain. Also , you can create a musical instrument with bottle caps by attaching them loosely into a board with nails, then support the board on a handle. These bottle caps can also be made into little picture frames.
Aluminum embellishments. Just trace out different shapes that you prefer on aluminum cans. Cut them to make holiday tree ornaments, jewelries or garden decorations. It is recommended to cut the bottom and the top part of the cans then cut the sides to make it flat, which makes it easier to trace on and cut. Use a nail to punch a hole for the string to be attached.
Safety Tips on Metal Crafting
Metal crafting involves working on different kinds of metal - iron, brass, copper, silver, wrought iron. It is important to remember that these metals are very sharp and you need to know certain safety tips in order to enjoy your metal crafting.
Make sure to hold the metal lightly because gripping the metal tight can cause cuts.
Do not run your fingers along the edge of the metal.
When working with a cutting tool, keep it deep in the cut.
Never go for short cuts.
Put on gloves at all times while working with metals especially if you are just a beginner. However, as you go along and become more confident with metal crafting, you can work without gloves since having a better feel with your metals will produce better quality.
As much as possible, it is best to use a well-mounted vice or any clamping toll that can hold your metal while working.
Make sure to have a piece of leather or a rag while working to protect the metal.
In removing metal scraps, always use a piece of cardboard or a brush instead of your hands.
Take your time and never rush so that you can avoid injuries and ensure to create a high quality craft. This is especially true if you are just starting - as you become more familiar with metal crafting, you can do your work faster.
It is necessary to have enough and proper lights in your work area because most metals sparkle and you may find it difficult to see the pieces clearly.
Make sure to purchase high quality tools to ensure high quality pieces.
