Step‑By‑Step Guide

1. Stamp Your Affirmations

Secure each blank with alignment tape on your bench block.
Center‑start your first letter, then work upward and downward to fill the blank evenly.
Necklace words: CREATE • SPARKLE • SMILE • GIVE • LOVE (with a daisy in the middle) • CREATE.
Earring words: YES • THIS.

2. Ink & Wipe

Rub paint or marker over each impression and buff the surface clean.
The color stays trapped in the recesses for crisp, high‑contrast letters.

3. Make Coils on Head Pins

Slide a bead onto a head pin.
Grip the wire just above the bead with round‑nose pliers and bend at 90°.
Wrap the tail neatly around the core wire; trim flush and tuck the end under.

4. Assemble Your Necklace

Starting at the center, use jump rings to attach a stamped blank and a coiled bead on each side.
Work symmetrically, alternating words and beads until all seven blanks are on the chain.
Hook a lobster‑clasp end to one chain side and a jump ring to the other.

5. Create Matching Earrings

Coil smaller beads on head pins, attach each to its stamped blank with a jump ring, then slide onto ear wires.

Styling & Care

Layer it up with delicate chains or pendants for a modern, boho look.
Gift idea: Pair the necklace with a handwritten note of encouragement.
Cleaning: Gently wipe painted areas only—avoid soaking in water to preserve the finish.

By making your own Metal‑Stamped Positive Affirmations Necklace, you’re not only creating a gorgeous accessory—you’re embracing a daily reminder to focus on joy, love, and gratitude. Ready to feel empowered every time you look in the mirror? Happy stamping!
