Awesome Aleshia! My Goodness you're so creatived & You're impress me by everythings you have made at this Day! WOW! i've never see an Amazing Designer like You Aleshia you're the BEST! Thank's to share You are Unique Dear!
This is so beautiful. It reminds me of Jade or Mother of Pearl which is used in so many of the jewelry made from sea shells. I am so excited to try this.
This is a great tutorial. What the necklace reminds me of is high quality "ancient roman glass" that they still dig up in the middle east sometimes & create pendants out of. It has that bluish tint to it. Thanks again for sharing.
Hi Aleshia. This purplish looking pendant is awsome. Would love to see more of your wonderful creations using this material. Thanks for sharing, yaffab11
That is some Kool uses of kitchen shop jewelry equipment. I had to get rid of my old stove that sat outside the shop building. She said it looked bad. So now any time I need to stress relive any steel that I have quenched for hardness, I simply put the pcs in the oven. After cooking several pones of cornbread, biscuits, or a casserole my part has had plenty of time to be heated and cooled to make it stress free. I know when it's close to being tempered correctly when it isn't leaving the new metal taste in the food. As far as the microwave goes it'll take a whole lot more abuse than you would think. I have blown the door glass out by attempting to dry a little gourd that we had grown. It was a perfect size and shape for a baby rattle. We had left it to dry after picking it from the garden. The seed were not drying as fast as I wanted so Baby Sara could have it. First was like 20 second in microwave. It seemed to help. Then 30 sec. Yes I could feel the heated loosening seeds Making more noise plus steam was being pushed out around where it was cut at the vine. By now I'm showing it to little Sara but not letting her touch the grenade that I'm building. Now little miss Sara was all excited knowing she was gonna get a new toy that Daddy had grown for her. I should have let it cool off then and let her play with it and then put it in her keep sake chest to give to our grand children. We'll after 2- 30 second nukings it acted like a miniature gourd baby rattle. It still had some moisture in it that didn't let that crisp sound out. I figured a two minute run In the microwave would be perfect. After the first minute passed a sound like a 12 gauge going off in the house happened. It pushed gourd seed, shell, and the husk from around the seed all inside the inner side of the microwave. It also busted the Inner glass on the glass door. The latch was sprung as was the hinges. there were several that year so we let time dry the rest and she loved them.
Love it!!! I just saved a CD last week from my daughter's waste basket. (guess she is not loving Taylor Swift like she used to after the whole Harry Styles incident! LOL) Thanks for the inspiration!!!
this is really versatile thank you Aleshia. I never would have thought of it on my own, but it might be a good idea if you are concerned about "toxic" vapors to indeed use a craft oven, OR clean your oven after crafting. More concerning to me rather than tainting my food are the fumes while melting the CD's. Good tip to get a used toaster oven from the thrift store. They can be quite spending to purchase one new for crafting!
abalone shell from the pacific ocean. I just had one shipped to me two days ago and its beautiful. this cd idea is brilliant but I think my microwave already scares me. :)
I put a cd in my microwave for 5 seconds and the crackle areas really burnt. So I tried again by reducing the power level to 8 and got a better finish. I do think I can go lower. Guess people should see how powerful their microwave is and make adjustments. My husband saw this disk and really like it. Imagine that!
I realize this is old, but this type of necklace is still in style. but I'm thinking of a new, cool twist on it aesthetically. have u seen the Sharpie®/rubbing alcohol trick tht they paint on, usually ladies nails & white canvas & leather shoes. it would be interesting to see tht applied here...I know it would look phenomenal!!! great work on this necklace, I never have done chunky necklace, but this is do....it's too pretty i'd really wear it!! 😁😱😎😍
Susan Hewlett I got it from amazon too also stainless steel www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Three-Dolphins-Fashion/dp/B00Q9CFLNO/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1427156420&sr=8-14&keywords=stainless+steel+dolphin+ring
I was all excited about doing this ....until she mentioned putting a CD in the microwave and it looking like fireworks......I rather not risk it. I would like me and my house to remain in one piece.
Really cool :) i love the effect of the cd's. perhaps it would be cool to fill up the bottlecaps with a domingresin too. That would enhance it even more and it would add a pro finish :)
Hi Alisha, As you are in the same situation as Gianna, I thought I'd share my advice with you. I apoligize for this awkward message in this tutorial. FIRSTLY and THE MOST URGENT, call PAYPAL if donations are made via PAYPAL, and explain your situation. They will gladly do the necessary and you and other victims will be refunded in minutes. TRUST ME. Secondly, UA-cam has to be informed and get this person to refund any money gained from your video tutorials and then only DELETE her account. Hugs xxx
The talent is there but went you put something toxico in microwave you can't not put food there hope you don't heat you food there bc you will be sick later on ok this is a good advice sister. But keep everything for you proyect separate , for you safety Love the tutorial good ideal well done
Just no. First, putting a CD in a microwave, I don't think so. Second - melting plastic in your oven? Do you care at all for your health? Do you know plastic fumes cause cancer? Well, good luck with all that. No thanks.
love your teaching style. I am an EMT, LOVED your safety tips!! reallyfun project. great job.
Beautiful and creative idea of making cd and bottle caps into jewelry! Thanks for this tutorial!
Awesome Aleshia! My Goodness you're so creatived & You're impress me by everythings you have made at this Day! WOW! i've never see an Amazing Designer like You Aleshia you're the BEST! Thank's to share You are Unique Dear!
YES! Thanks! That is the name of the shell I was thinking of but couldn't remember.
You're so creative! I finally got all my supplies yesterday, so I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing!
This is so beautiful. It reminds me of Jade or Mother of Pearl which is used in so many of the jewelry made from sea shells. I am so excited to try this.

this cd idea is brilliant
but I think my microwave already scares me. :)
I love this look. Can you do the microwave and go from there without baking it in the oven?
Amazing, I think this was such a great idea. You are really creative!
Very thorough! I enjoyed watching and learned a lot. Very inspiring!
beautiful

What is the tool you use to cut the discs with and where can you get it from? Your work is amazing and so well taught..Thank You so much for sharing.
i was wondering if you have to use the cd cant you just skip that step and use a picture for this step thank you it looks good
Abalone Shells may be what you were thinking of...beautiful idea...thanks for sharing...
I think I will get a used Microwave and a toaster oven to use outside and only use it for arts and crafts..
It's paua shell (not mother of pearl)
and the bottle caps are on sale on Amazon right now for $2.73!
Hello very nice jewelry, I could say the internet where I could buy the tools? thanks

Susan Hewlett I got it from amazon too also stainless steel www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Three-Dolphins-Fashion/dp/B00Q9CFLNO/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1427156420&sr=8-14&keywords=stainless+steel+dolphin+ring
I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!
I do indeed need to make myself one of these! Totally love it! TFS! Hugs! Linda
I used a mini cutter (dremel copy ) I didnt want to chance spoiling the dremel , but it worked fine
I was all excited about doing this ....until she mentioned putting a CD in the microwave and it looking like fireworks......I rather not risk it. I would like me and my house to remain in one piece.
Because I tried to film it with the light on and you couldn't see the cd in the oven cause the glass was reflecting.
Es preciosos ,muchas gracias por ser tan amable en compartir me gusta reciclar
Really cool :) i love the effect of the cd's. perhaps it would be cool to fill up the bottlecaps with a domingresin too. That would enhance it even more and it would add a pro finish :)
thanks for sharing - very well done and explained
Wow, its alive! (never knew the micro trick. thanks)
Great Job! Thank you so much, I love your tutorials :)
Can i do more than one cd at the time
I like your work but I don't wear big clunky necklace. I have a very short neck so I pick very small necklaces. I do love the recycling of things.
Loved it!!!! Thnaks for sharing this with us....
Great video & great job! Thank you!
Terrific tutorial. Thankyou.
I love this was thinking a dermal would cut holes & cut out cap
You are so awesome thank you so much for sharing
beautiful!
I was wondering about toxic fumes and whatever residue it may leave inside the microwave.
Love this video .......❤️❤️
Looks like fun
Why do you turn the light off
you are a genius¡¡ what about have your own factory??
It's so cool
No se si el horno es mas fuerte (estufa) que se derritio bastante y lo deje 9minutos pero me gusto gracias Dtb
You could even put Pic's of family members in the caps!!!!
Abalone?
Tim Holtz scissors cut through the CD
p.s beautiful hands by the way!

I would do that without the bottlecaps
i hope you didnt use that oven/microwave for food , I'm pretty sure its comtaminated now with poisonous gases
Who's tried this but was terrified of pressing the button???????
it took me 5mins I was terrified LOL
.
Just no. First, putting a CD in a microwave, I don't think so. Second - melting plastic in your oven? Do you care at all for your health? Do you know plastic fumes cause cancer? Well, good luck with all that. No thanks.
The shell is called....mother of pearl .....♡
