Learn how to hammer with style & Precision Using Now That’s a Hammer with Brenda Schweder and Nealay Patel

Nov 25

It’s Hammer Time! Join Me & the multi-talented Brenda Schweder and watch us hammer, crimp and string jewelry together in this make-a-long tutorial. We’ll be using Vintaj blanks for our crafting and attaching them to 18-gauge wire for a one-of-a-kind brooch. We’ll also be making some stellar earrings on the fly!

You can find Brenda’s store over on Etsy and if you’re looking for the hammers (cause I’ll be displaying mine in my office as beautiful as they are) you can go to Fretz Designs and check out all the different hammers he has, including the cobranded hammer Now That’s A Hammer.
