Step-by-Step Tutorial: Cutting & Shaping Metal Blanks

Have fun with our NEW tools… you can now cut and shape your own metal blanks into any size and shape your heart desires! We love this technique, the possibilities are endless! In addition to reshaping Altered Blanks, as I’ve done here to create a License Plate connector for our Summer Road Trip theme, you can also draw your own designs onto an Altered Blank Canvas to cut a variety of unique charms, pendants and connectors.

[Check our online catalog for new chain & clasp in this design -  COMING SOON!]

Our Metal Shears work hand in hand with Vintaj Altered Blanks.

-Cut easily through Altered Blanks and Blank Canvasses.
-1.5″ long straight cutting blades.
-Single-leaf spring for added comfort and ease of use.
-Locking mechanism for safe storage.

Our Metal File is used for a range of purposes with Vintaj metals.

-Smooth or file any edge.
-Smooth rough edges of Altered blanks cut with Metal Shears.
-Smooth burrs created when cutting loops off of charms.
