Video Project with Tim Sheriff: Creating A Marble Pendant Using the Swanstrom Link-Forming Pliers

Dec 10, 2012

Posted by Yvonne M. Padilla

Marbles? Yes, marbles, one of my favorite childhood toys. I would sit for hours playing, counting, and sorting (my favorite was a super-cool yellow and black swirl that reminded me of a bumblebee). Needless to say, I was thrilled when I first watched Tim Sheriff’s video on how to make a marble pendant using the Swanstrom Link-Forming Pliers.

Check out the video below to see just how easy it is!

Interested in getting some hands-on time with these and other Swanstrom pliers? Check out our Winter Workshop class Jewelry Making with Swanstrom Pliers, taught by THE Tim Sheriff! Seats are limited and already filling up fast, so sign up while you can!

Now, excuse me while I go rummage through storage boxes to find my stash of marbles.
