Instructions

NOTE: Soldering is a hobby that definitely goes by the standards of the more you practice the easier it becomes. So take the time to practice following the simple introductory tips included in the Creative Soldering Kit by Simply Swank.

  1. Begin your ornament by selecting two images from the Christmas Art Sheet one for the front side and one for the back.
     
  2. Trim the images to fit in between two glass slides.
     
  3. Begin wrapping your foil tape around the edge of the glass so that the slides are secured together.
     
  4. The next few steps require patience and practice. Be sure your iron is plugged in and warmed up (DO NOT TOUCH!).
     
  5. Brush Flux on to the foil tape where you want the solder to stick. Melt a small amount of solder and carefully drag it across the foil to spread.
     
  6. Work all way around the ornament repeating the step. If a thicker edge is desired repeat the entire process adding flux and melting solder until desired results are achieved.
     
  7. Add wire and beads to the bottom to dangle and tie a nice ribbon at the top.
  8. A timeless treasure in under an hour!
