Tips from the Bar Studs Project in my book ☺️ if you are an absolute beginner, try this project! I cut two pieces of square wire and mark the center with sharpie, this allows me to solder my ear posts straight! Once soldered I twist the ear post to toughen them up a bit, use a sanding disc to clean up near the post and bristle discs to polish. I wanted to add 20 photos per project but I was only able to add a few. All the projects are intentionally simple to teach you the foundations and then you add your own pizazz you could make bar studs with stone settings, decorative wire, soldered on decorative components.
