Sugar Spoon Necklace Tutorial

Step OnePunch a hole in the handle of the spoon.• When you use ANY hand-powered punch remember that slow and steady is the way to go. Don’t try to power through the hole making or you’ll end up with bent punches! Grip the punch and s-l-o-w-l-y put pressure on it to make the hole.

The next thing to do is put your message • in the spoon. I went for the obvious but sweet ‘sugar’ in the bowl of the spoon. Big hint; start your word in the center of the space and with the center letter of the word. You’ll have instant spacing success!

Step ThreeWith your round nose pliers wire wrap a • 2” section of 20 gauge wire and thread it through a tulip bead cap. The 10 mm

gently squeeze the petals of the tulip to

gauge wire at the top of the bead cap and trim any excess.

Step FourThen you can use the fabulous square jump • rings to attach the charms to the loop. I love these square jump rings. They are an unexpected shape AND super strong!Use a square jump ring to attach the chain • sections to the top of the dangle.
