Detailing The Edges

Using a chipping hammer, you will want to

hammer the edges on the rose to make a more
flower type scene. This step wasn’t easy for me to
do as it was tiring on my arms. But you will need
to go this to every petal on every single sheet
metal.

You will need to wear gloves, goggles and

headphones
Make The Star

• When making the star, you will need another

piece of sheet metal, this time it does not have
to be as big, a smaller piece will be enough.
Once you get the piece, whether you cut it
yourself, or if there was already a good piece,
you will want to draw a star. The star doesn’t
have to be perfect, but just needs to have 5
points. After you draw on it, you will get
straight tin snips and cut the star out.

You will need gloves and safety glasses

Center Punch Star

• Once you cut out the star, you will need to

center punch the star because, as we did with
the petals, the drill will drill perfectly through
the metal, and not scatter on the metal. First
you will need to find the center point of the
star. Then you are going to use a center punch
and a hammer to make an indent on your
metal.

You will need gloves and headphones.

Drilling The Hole and
twisting pedals
• When drilling the holes, you must make sure that the
teeth of the drill bit isn't in the clamp on the drill. Then
make sure that the drill isn't on reverse. You also want
to make sure you are putting a little bit of pressure
while you do this, but not too much, as the drill bit will
snap off or get damaged. You will want to make sure
that you are drilling on to a wood material that is kept
in the class.
• You will need glasses and headphones
• Using 2 needle nose pliers, I will then get the star and
twist the 5 hands inwards. I will need to make sure that
the hands are tight and closed together and that they
look good and evenly matched.
