Learn to soft solder! Watch as I create this Big, Easy Heart Pendant with wire and low-temp soft solder. No torch or flame is needed! I solder with a soldering iron and lead-free solder to create beautiful, unique jewelry. Low-temp soft soldered jewelry is easy, accessible, and fun. This project is perfect for folks who are new to soft soldering or who may already have some soldering iron experience. In this video I will create the basic heart project. In my next video I will show you how more experienced solderers can take it a step further and turn this finished heart into an entirely new project!

I have been looking you! Thank you for the easy step by step video, I have been doing stained glass for a few decades but wanted to branch out ❤️
Great video!!
Loved this :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Lailie, glad you enjoyed! 🌻
Can you use silver filled wire to soder on?
hi? Laura! what metal your wire that you solder without copper foil? silver?
So cute! I’m new to soft soldering & will definitely give this a try! Are you using copper wire? TIA
I used silver plated wire but you certainly could use copper! Thanks for watching 🌻
Wonderful! Do you mind sharing the brand of solder you use? it beads up so nicely!!
Hi Dawn, I usually use just any lead-free generic (silver-tin mix) but also have one linked in the description below the video that works well. If your solder is not beading up well, it is more likely to be your iron temp that needs to be adjusted and not the solder itself, and using enough flux. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 🌻
Hi Laura,
I’m a great fan all the way in California 😁. I have all my tools ready to start soldering and very excited. Question - what is the surface you’re working on? Is that waxed paper or something else? Thanks so much 🥰
HI Polly, I recommend this mat: Soldering surface mat: amzn.to/3K53vQH
Hello great video I was just wondering what temperature is your iron set at when you're making the solder balls I can never get them right.
I usually turn down my iron a bit - you really have to play around with your iron to find out what temp works best for you, there is no one-size-fits-all temperature that works for everyone!
Are you using steel or aluminum wire ?
Where can I find the flexible rubber stamps you use in your solder designs? The only ones I found were on Etsy and the seller did not know if they would tolerate hot solder
Dianne check the video description for more info and links, they must be vulcanized stamps
What solder iron do you have? I bought a cheap one that I cannot get it to work!
Check out the description below the video for my suggestions for tools & materials
What type of silver wire was used?
I used silver plated wire. You can also use copper or standard craft wire.
what temp range do you use for the dots???? i keep trying and i’m not sure if i’m at a too high temp :’)
In another comment she said she turns it down, but all irons are different so you just need to practice
That's exactly right!
What kind of wire is this.... The ones I use are really soft even though they are 1mm
Links are in the description below the video
