26. If you need page 7 also that is fine.
Symbol pendant steps
On page 6 of your book please put down the steps to making a symbol pendant.
If you need page 7 also that is fine.

27. Step 1
Design a symbol that is important to you. The symbol should be all shapes no lines. None of these shapes should be overlapping or touching. Think like you are carving a pumpkin. Cut the design out with an x-acto and glue to sheet metal

28. Step 2
Cut the design out using a size 1 saw blade. Make sure you are using a C-clamp, a wood block, and the saw frame. The saw blade should be out and down when sawing. Use the entire length of the blade or it will break faster.

29. Step 3
Trace and cut out the background piece of tin. File edges, drill jump ring hole, and scuff up the surface so it will take the spray paint. Spray paint one side than let dry the entire day (plan accordingly so you are not waiting for paint to dry).

30. Step 4
Clean up your design. File, sand, buff, polish, and put together with a jump ring. The jump ring will be made from the 22 gage wire using a dowel that is the size of jump ring that you would prefer.

31. Step 5
Fill out your artist statement & rubric. Based on the criteria, how did you do? Make sure you are using your art terms to explain you work.
Photograph your work and it to Mrs. Francesconi.
