- Technique(s): General Education
- Skill Level: Beginner
In 2020, Wire Jewelry.com assembled a lineup of fabulous teachers to stream live classes from Tuscon, so I signed up for all of them. The classes were all great and I highly recommend them.
One class you HAVE TO TAKE is Linda Larsen Building Lockets And Using Hinges. Hinges will no longer be a mystery.
During the class Linda will give you great tips and will answer tons of questions in a way that is very easy to understand.
As a teacher, I know how much students appreciate that. Immediately after the class I scaled a pattern for the hinged arrowhead earrings made in class so I could replicate them in brass. Love them!

Instructions
Step 1
Many hinges require soldering.
Try a super-simple no-solder hinge instead.
It has an artisanal look, perfect for beginners.
Start with the easiest: three-leg hinge.
Legs form the knuckles.
Use 1/8" graph paper with scaled rectangles matching your sheet metal.
Simple shapes help beginners lacking design confidence.
Challenge seekers get five-leg versions.
This necklace tutorial uses the first photo's rectangle.

This necklace tutorial uses the first photo's rectangle.
Step 2
Sketch out a desired size and shape pendant, including approximately a 3/16" width for the area taken up by the hinge.
To make the pendant shape symmetrical, cut one half the length (first photo).
Fold the pendant shape lengthwise down the center (second photo).
Cut the second side of the pendant along the edge of the section folded over (third photo).

Fold the pendant shape lengthwise down the center (second photo).
Cut the second side of the pendant along the edge of the section folded over (third photo).
Step 3
Cut out the pendant template.
Remove the added hinge section.
Note: The template was cut down the hinge center. This ensures room for stamped phrasing inside.
Glue templates to graph paper.

Note: The template was cut down the hinge center. This ensures room for stamped phrasing inside.
Glue templates to graph paper.
Step 4
Decide hinge "leg" placement.
Hinges stress over time from use.
For heavy-use items like pendants, widen the center knuckle of a three-knuckle hinge.
It handles the most stress for better stability.
The second photo's leg option prevents sideways wiggle on this pendant's lower movable part.
Note: Glue all parts to graph paper for squareness.
Copy the finished template. Cut and glue pieces to 24- or 22-gauge copper sheet.
Save the original for future copies.

Start with the hinge legs.
Metal shears will work just fine for this step.
It is easy to cut the metal away from the single leg hinge section using shears.

It is easy to cut the metal away from the single leg hinge section using shears.
Step 6
Use shears to cut to the bottom end of each leg on the two-leg section.
Step 7
It is easy to remove the excess metal between the two legs.
Grasp the metal close to the top of the pendant at the bottom of the legs (first photo).
Bend the section up (second photo). Bend the section down (third photo).
Repeat the process until the section breaks away (fourth photo).

Step 8
Use a file to remove any excess metal and to square the corners of the opening.
Step 9
Finish cutting both pendant pieces out.
Remove the paper templates.
File and refine the edges, being careful to not remove metal from the hinge legs.

File and refine the edges, being careful to not remove metal from the hinge legs.
Step 10
It may be necessary to file the legs for the hinge pieces to fit together.
Step 11
Use three layers of tape to secure the legs of each pendant section to a bench block.
The three layers of tape will protect the legs from hammer strikes using a Mini TruStrike Designer/Texture Hammer.
Texture around the edge of each piece.
Add just a few texture marks to the interior of each piece.
Leave the piece taped to the bench block.

Add just a few texture marks to the interior of each piece.
Leave the piece taped to the bench block.
Step 12
With the piece still taped to the bench block, stamp a sentiment on the lower pendant section using 1.5mm or 2mm letter stamps.
The size used depends on the length of the saying and the size of the words.
The size used depends on the length of the saying and the size of the words.
Step 13
Embellishments add personality but aren't required.
Cut flower, leaves, and heart from metal scraps using the original template.
Silver embellishments here used easy paste solder.
Second photo: Connect leaves to cut as one piece.
Punch holes (blue dots) in flower and leaves for later riveting (Step 25).
Skip the heart or stamp "HEART" to match the sentiment.

Step 14
If soldering, solder the pieces in place on the two pendant pieces using easy paste solder for silver.
Step 15
If the embellishments were soldered in place, pickle, rinse and dry the pieces before continuing.
Step 16
Texturing can slightly change shape and size of the pieces.
If the hinge legs no longer fit together, lightly file and refine them again.
If the hinge legs no longer fit together, lightly file and refine them again.
Step 17
Use an ultra-fine point retractable Sharpie to draw lines on the pendant pieces where the hinge legs will be bent.
Bend the hinge legs toward the right side of the pendant pieces.
Place the flat-nose pliers below where the hinge leg is to be bent (second photo) not above (third photo).
Bend the hinge legs up at a 60 degree angle, using the plier jaws to make a sharp bend.
Check and refine the fit again.

Check and refine the fit again.
Step 18
Track pliers used for hinges.
Note barrel size, flange length, sheet gauge, and tubing size.
Measure labeled barrels yourself.
They may vary slightly, affecting leg rolling into tubes.
My Wubbers Bail Making Pliers differ minorly from packaging. No issue for these hinges.
Workbench pliers for 22-24 gauge sheet:
Blue handle: small barrel (1.5mm, 1/4"+1mm leg), large (2.56mm, 3/8" leg-3/32" tube).
Sm. Wubbers: small (2.29mm, 3/8" leg-3/32" tube), large (2.8mm, 1/2" leg-1/8" tube).
Med. Wubbers: small (3.5mm, 1/2" leg-1/8" tube), large (5.2mm, 3/4" leg-1/4" tube).

Med. Wubbers: small (3.5mm, 1/2" leg-1/8" tube), large (5.2mm, 3/4" leg-1/4" tube).
Step 19
Using the small barrel of the Medium Wubbers Bail Making Pliers, roll a leg toward the back of the pendant piece.
Repeat the process for all three pendant legs.
Repeat the process for all three pendant legs.
Pro Tip: Copper is a very soft metal. If using a harder metal, it may be easier to form the tube if the piece is annealed first.
Step 20
The hinge tubes may not allow the pendant pieces to lie flat on a bench block (first and second photos).
Put the piece on a bench block and press it down close to the hinge to make the hinge in line with the back of the pendant piece.
A thick ruler can help (third photo). Check the hinge fit once again.

Step 21
Choose copper tubing that will fit inside the hinge tubes created.
For this pendant, 1/8" tubing was used.
3/32" tubing could be used, but the hinge would probably be loose and wobbly.

3/32" tubing could be used, but the hinge would probably be loose and wobbly.
Pro Tip: Small tubing for jewelry making can be found in aluminum, brass, and copper-and of course silver and gold.
Search for a copper tubing assortment to find a set of a variety of tubing sizes: 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4 O. D.
Linda Larsen suggests that using only three sizes of tubing will make it easier when designing jewelry with this type of hinge.

Step 22
Connect the two pendant pieces together, lining up the two hinge sections.
Make sure the leading end of the copper tubing selected is cut square , or perpendicular, to the tubing length.
Slide the tube through the three hinge sections.
Make sure the leading end of the copper tubing selected is cut square , or perpendicular, to the tubing length.
Slide the tube through the three hinge sections.
Use an ultra-fine point retractable Sharpie to mark the other end of the tubing where to cut to be the same amount protruding.
Leave 1.5mm to 2mm of tubing protruding from the hinge.
A pipe or tubing cutter may squash the tubing. Secure the tubing in a tube cutting jig.
Use a saw with a 2/0 or 3/0 blade to cut the tube to length (second photo).

Use a saw with a 2/0 or 3/0 blade to cut the tube to length (second photo).
Alternative hinge connection: Use 20-gauge wire.
Determine how many fit through the hinge. Cut that many plus one 3-inch copper pieces.
Ball one end of each with a small butane torch.
Thread through one by one, varying balled end lengths.
Ball the other ends. Trim excess before balling if needed.
Pull ends apart and bend like tree branches.

Step 23
Flare both ends of the tubing.
Use a dapping punch larger than the tube (first photo) or rounded Mini TruStrike Planishing Hammer side (second photo).
Fold hinged pieces flat together (second photo). Place tube on bench block edge.
Lightly tap tubing center to start flaring one side.
Turn hinge over and repeat.
Alternate sides until evenly flared and secure.
Avoid over-flaring so hinge moves freely.

Step 24
Cut a backing piece of 20- or 22-gauge sheet metal larger than the piece just created.
Texture the back of that piece if desired.
Make sure the backing is flat before continuing.

Step 25
No-solder option: Punch holes in embellished section for rivets.
Paper template shows one placement; photo shows another.
Three rivets work best.
Position embellished piece on backing.
Mark one rivet spot with ultra-fine Sharpie on backing.
Cut or drill that hole first.
Complete one rivet before marking the next. Repeat for all three.

Step 26
Use an ultra-fine Point Sharpie to draw a line on the backing 1/8" away from the attached piece.
Step 27
Cut away the excess backing using the drawn line as a guide.
File and refine the edge of the backing.
File and refine the edge of the backing.
Step 28
Choose and stamp a sentiment on the backing inside the pendant.
Step 29
Taping the pendant in place on a bench block can help in this step.
Stamp evenly spaced lines on the pendant backing around the upper attached portion of the pendant.
Draw a line on the lower backing approximately 3/16" in from the edge.
Stamp evenly spaced lines around the lower pendant backing from that line out to the edge.
Stamp evenly spaced lines on the pendant backing around the upper attached portion of the pendant.
Draw a line on the lower backing approximately 3/16" in from the edge.
Stamp evenly spaced lines around the lower pendant backing from that line out to the edge.
Step 30
Choose a chain to attach to the pendant.
Here, double 18-gauge 3.5mm jump rings made the chain.
4mm and 5mm copper beads were made into connectors with 20-gauge wire.
to slide over the head without a toggle or lobster claw closure, the chain should be approximately 24" long.

to slide over the head without a toggle or lobster claw closure, the chain should be approximately 24" long.
Step 31
Since the jump rings were not soldered and finished, the chain was a bit scratchy as all the jump rings were not closed to be super smooth.
Using sanding sponges on the finished chain helped a lot.
Tumbling the piece for several hours helped some more, but only a bit.

Step 32
The pendant works fine plain (first photo).
Add patina to copper for depth (second photo). It highlights your work.
Sanding sponges remove excess patina from chain for smoothness.
Tumble 30 minutes to restore shine.
Hinge may stick during tumbling.
Hand polish the interior if needed.
