I made a code of arms wrap bracelet for this tutorial
cut out your shield as the base and whatever you desire on it
I used 20 gauge sterling silver
make sure your shape fits well on your shield without overlapping
Cutting out that bird was not easy by the way ,Its really tiny and detailed
solder both together
dome your shield in a dabbing block
of if you do not have one you can keep it flat
clean the back of the shield with sand paper
cut some short strips of flat wire
bend with a needle nose plier into a U shape
make sure it fits well
solder the u's to the back
clean in your Pickel solution
you can always look through my albums and other tutorials for more info
this is after the cleaning bath
start polishing
add patina
poish only the bird so it stands out from the shield
feed a leather cord or any other cord through the u shapes
I use slip knots to make the bracelet adjustable
wrap around your arm and enjoy
