In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to work with heat and plexiglass to form acrylic wearables.  Prof. Ahr also explains the tools and techniques required to safely apply a finish to your projects.

Working with plexiglass is a fun way to add a unique quality to your jewelry projects.  Besides all of the different colors and patterns that are available to you as a designer, this material is easily manipulated to produce visual effects or interesting shapes.

The tools and products introduced in this video will allow you to work safely and independently on acrylic jewelry items.  Remember, before you go for broke on a large scale piece, it's probably a good idea to practice your technique.  With practice you'll know the right path to success.
