Hi Queen, if a metal punch won’t work for the metal you’re using, you might try using a drill instead. Best of luck with your project. 🙂

Is there any other tool u recommend for that job? I was referring to the hole puncher tool, the one w blue handles.

and am frustrated. I am looking forward to trying this. Thanks.

Christabelle, do you mean how to make your own metal pendants, stamping blanks, etc.? Here are two of my free tutorials featuring that type of project:
Metalwork Arrowhead Pendant Tutorial
Cold Connection – Easy Riveted Pendant Tutorial
Both of these tutorials discuss the metals and tools you’ll need. You can find the metal and tools at many jewelry suppliers, or from Etsy.com jewelry suppliers, or by doing an online search for the items you need.
I’d love to see what you make with these techniques! 🙂

Also where would I get metal sheets and what is the thickness I should look at.
Thanks
Christabelle

Hi Nallery, thanks for asking! If you pop over to my tutorial, Cold Connection – Easy Riveted Pendant Tutorial – you’ll see in the supplies list a photo of the red metal shears I use; and then in the step-by-step part of that tutorial you’ll see the shears cutting a piece of metal.

How do you cut the metal sheets to actually make up the designs you want as shown above. What tools should be used and techniques?
