Now you can cut the pendant out of the sheet metal with scissors or tin snips. Tin snips is useful for cutting through the metal. As for delicate designs, scissors may be better.
Hammer a nail through the top of the pendant to create a single hole. In order to make the metal smooth, you will sand the edges of the cut out pendant. Sand away all sharp edges and points, which will make the pendant uncomfortable to wear and easily snagged on apparel.
