I found that by buying these washers from Vintaj Brass Co., and doming them in my doming block, they become the most perfect little bead caps on the planet. I know, that's totally cheating. ;)
Not cheating, but rather ingenious!!! I received a doming kit for Christmas, but since I don't have a cutter to make discs (and no money to buy one) the doming kit is kind of useles---until now. Thanks so much for the tip!
I just got my doming set last weekend and I have been doming every round piece of metal I can find because I don't have a cutter yet. Thanks for the tip! Shannon C

ReplyDeleteI prefer to call it "spectacular creativity". Sounds much better. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great tip and I'm sure Vintaj loves you sharing your little secret!! I do too!
ReplyDeleteI like Lori's name for not reinventing the wheel - "Spectacular Creativity". I am going to have to write that one down! Nice tip, thanks!

ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant creativity! Love it when we see something in a new way. Betting we could buy some washers at the hardware store.... hmmmm
ReplyDeleteThanks!
great idea! thx for sharing!
ReplyDeleteok, i totally thought of this, too. just that i dont have a doming kit! and if thats cheating, almost everything i do is cheating.
ReplyDeleteHave to love the serendipity of 'I wonder what would happen if. . . .'
ReplyDeleteLove it, and they are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI've been hammering copper washers for some time but don't have a doming block - this inspires me to get one!
ReplyDeleteThose beads are absolutely gorgeous!! And using washers as caps is ingenious! Thanks for the tip!
