Let’s make some bones and skulls for Halloween fun!

In the first part of the class, I’ll show you how to make an articulated metal armature with rivets that you can sculpt bones right onto for a bone bracelet, ready to wear for the week.  This bracelet is a new favorite among my collectors and my etsy shop. My riveting style is my own technique and a really great way to learn how to rivet. It’s also instant gratification, with no previous metal skills required. As our bones are curing, I’ll show you how to make a small wearable skull out of polymer. A variety of stringing materials – from rhinestone chain to leather cords – will be available for purchase so that you can wear your skull out the door!

Come have fun making bones and skulls!
