Abstract Face 3D Printed Jewelry
I saw those Picasso inspired abstract face jewelry in several art galleries and museums. Always wanted a set, but the price was too much for my student wallet. Here's how to make a knock-off with a 3D printer and a little elbow grease.
Supplies
3D printed parts
sanding paper, craft knife, plastic filler
primer
spray paint
jewelry findings
3D PRINTING
Here are STL files, ready to print, no need to adjust the size. Print at the highest quality to reduce the amount of sanding and filling.
BRACELETS
Dip each bracelet's arm in hot water. Bend them either over your wrist or use a round object, like a small bottle. Wear gloves to protect from heat.
PREP WORK
Depending on the quality of your prints, clean all parts using combination of sanding paper, plastic filler and craft knife.
Use primer to prep before painting.
Spray paint, I used gold and silver paint, but you can choose your own colors.
FINDINGS
Use strong glue to adhere earring and brooch findings to the faces.
