How to Make Steampunk Jewelry Tutorials Posted: 20 Apr 2011 04:35 AM PDT Steampunk jewelry celebrates the vintage technology look. These pieces remind us of the literary worlds of Jules Verne. The fashion and accessories for this style is continually growing in popularity. So here are more steampunk jewelry tutorials to inspire. Andrea Morici designed this wonderful Full Steam Ahead necklace tutorial using many gears, clock parts and vintage brass elements for Beadaholique. Naturally, there is a splendid matching earring tutorial by the same designer. Gothic Enchantress on Devianart has a tutorial for a steampunk necklace. She covers how a vintage pocket watch is taken apart and the components used to build up the focal for her ribbon and lace choker. You may need to click on the tutorial image to enlarge it. If you like making resin jewelry, then this easy steampunk inspired tutorial by the Pink Hare is just the ticket for you! It's not quite the true vintage or patinaed colors expected of steampunk jewelry but Helen Driggs of Jewelry Making Daily's watch face pendant tutorial captures some of the style. It's worth a look to see how she layers or sandwiches different components. Samantha Star's Chic Floral Steampunk brooch tutorial is a fun project using thin aluminum sheet and that crafting favorite, alcohol inks! There is an accompanying video tutorial.
