Out of Zone Accessories 2020 Part 4

I am on the last stretch of my Accessories. I am going to make a Bracelet.

Pocket Chain

 

I have one Pocket Chain left. I linked it together to form the basis of my Bracelet.

Dirty Washer

I wanted a good selection of items to put on my Bracelet as Charms. I happened upon this one in the street.

Clean Washer

After a spot of scrubbing the Washer came up much cleaner. This is going to be the Centre Piece of the Bracelet.

Looped through Washer

 

I took a length of Copper Wire and Folded it and placed the Loop through the Washer.

Pull through Washer

 

I pulled the Wire through the Loop until it was tight.

1^st Washer Tied

 

 

Once the Washer was secure I Threaded the two Wires through the Bracelet. I Trimmed the Length and Wound the Wire back on itself to secure it.

I placed this particular Washer near to the join of the Pocket Chain. This Washer is both the largest and the heaviest so would anchor it underneath the Wrist when worn.

Completed Charms

 

I continued adding different sized and coloured Washers at intervals on the lower half of the Bracelet. I didn’t want them all the way around because the Copper wire would make it stiff and therefore uncomfortable.

Steampunk Set

 

In the above Photograph I have my completed Steampunk Set.

Continuing on from Out of Zone Mask 2020

I couldn’t just stop at the Mask. I had to Accessorise. I had tonnes of Copper Wire already Plaited so all I needed was the inspiration.

Copper and Cog

 

I hadn’t used all the Cogs up on the Mask as sometimes less is more. The little beauty in the above photograph was dying to be used.

I therefore made a Knot in one end of the Wire and slipped it through one of the Cogs holes.

First Washer 

The next part was slightly trickier. I Looped the Wire through the Washer and pulled firm. I had to undo and redo this several times to get the Distance that I wanted between the Cog and the Washer. I then ran the Wire under its back then Looped it again around the other side.

Second Washer

 

Now I had one Washer in Place I repeated the process with another Washer. I am not putting any more on since they are metal and I don’t want it to be too heavy.

Earring Hoop

 

Earring Hoops were the one thing I didn’t have so I ended up buying a job lot off eBay. I sorted out which colour looked best then slipped the Wire through the Hole. I then Cut the Wire and Wound it back upon itself.

I made the other one and tried them on. They weren’t only still pretty light but also looked Fabulous!
