Equipment

Materials

  • Copper bracelet
  • Fine Sandpaper
  • Spray Polyurethane

Instructions

  • Remove any grease or dirt from the copper cuff.
  • Lightly sand the cuff with fine grit sandpaper going in the same direction.
  • Fill the kitchen torch with butane.
  • Hold one end of the cuff with the pliers and use your other hand to run the flame over the copper.
  • Continue moving the torch around the entire bracelet watching as the colors change.
  • If the copper gets too light that probably means it got too hot so let it cool and try again.
  • You can set the cuff in the water to cool off, then dry and continue applying the torch until you get the desired effect you like.
  • Once the copper cuff bracelet cools, you can spray it with polyurethane as a protective sealer to keep it from tarnishing.

Notes

Some people use varnish or UV resin to seal their piece.
