In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to use foldforming techniques to create a delightful pair of earrings. This project works well with thin gauge copper sheet or crafting foil.
This simple project, suitable for beginners, is an extension of one of the OJA's most popular tutorials on formfolded copper. In this video, however, Prof. Ahr uses pre-annealed copper craft foil to make the copper stars. You can find this type of foil at most craft and hobby stores.
In other videos on the OJA playlist you can learn how to add color and interest to your copper formfolded earrings.
