This year my husband and I celebrated our 10th
wedding anniversary. I wanted to make him something unique and something that
he would like to wear. This started a journey of “tinsploration” that took me 3
months to work on ideas, mess up, create, recreate and finally complete. He is
wearing it now so I’m convinced the project was a success.
The cuff is black leather covered in small tin buttons. I
cut and formed the tin so it would stand out on the cuff. Each tin piece was
formed then sprayed with a hard gloss to keep its paintwork intact. I then tube
riveted the tin to a copper disc on the opposite side of the leather. Once done
riveting I glued a thin strip of leather to the back side for a comfortable
fit.
