Here's the blurb
This tutorial explains how to make ring tops for interchangeable jewellery. It is a technique tutorial, although six actual ring tops are covered in the e-book from start to finish (basic ring top, using a heart press, using a star press, stacked dots, four-leaf clover, and using a cabochon mandrel), the point of the tutorial is to explain techniques so that you can move on to make your own ring tops.
The e-book is 25 pages long, with over 75 illustrations. As well as the actual step-by-step instructions listed above, it gives health and safety advice specific to ring tops, includes a gallery for discs and even more ring tops, and hopes to be a pretty solid grounding in making both basic and advanced ring tops.
File size is 2.7MB, and you will need Adobe Reader to open it (it's a .pdf file).
