Step 1
I am testing the jewelry stamping kit from MakersKit...
Step 2
It includes everything you need for creating your own stamped jewelry - metal stamping letters, hammer, round pendants, leather cord, ball chain, jump rings and cardboard (for practicing and working on).
Step 3
To start, tape your pendant to your work surface (I used double-sided tape on the back) and then draw or add another piece of tape to act as a guide when you stamp your letters. It's also helpful to mark the center point so your word/phrase is centered.
Step 4
Start with the center and work your way toward the sides. When stamping, hold the letter stamp steady and completely straight/upright. Then tap it HARD with the hammer once or twice. Try not to let the stamp move or your impression may come out imperfect. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
Step 5
PRO TIP: Make sure you're working on a hard surface to protect your work area. Working on a wood table or other softer material may leave dents or impressions.
Step 6
That's it, you're done! It is such a quick, simple project, you'll want to start stamping everything! The great part about this kit is that it includes everything you need to get started - you can make jewelry, keychains, dog tags and more! You can even emboss paper/cardboard for paper crafting!
Step 7
Have fun and get stamping! ;)
