Eye Candy Metal Stamped Necklace

We want to show you all sorts of fun ways to play with your metal stamps, this project is perfect for beginners because it lets you play without having to worry about getting it “right.” Plus, we’re adding texture, dimension and color! Did you know you can use multi-surface paints to add color to your metal stamped designs? That’s what we did here with this Eye Candy Metal Stamped Necklace. Add some coordinating beads and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystals and hang it all from a bright silver chain. Flirty, fun and like the maker, so ready for spring.

Here’s What You Need:
ImpressArt Stamping Blank Square
ImpressArt Stamping Blank Circle
ImpressArt Stamping Blank River Stone
ImpressArt, Pewter Stamping Blanks, Washer, 15/16″
ImpressArt Pewter Hearts
18 5-6mm 5-6mm Gemstone and Glass Beads in Coordinating Colors (I used vintage Czech glass, dyed jade, faux turquoise)
6 6mm Swarovski Crystal 5000 Round Faceted Bead Pink Rose Water Opal
6 Swarovski Crystal 5000 Round Beads 6mm Sunflower
18″ Beadalon Chain Rolo Large Silver Plated
24 6mm Jump Rings
Beadalon Lobster Clasp Swivel 13mm
30 Beadalon Ball Tipped Head Pin
ImpressArt- Basic Newsprint Lowercase Letter Metal Stamp Set Letter x
ImpressArt- Basic Newsprint Uppercase Letter Metal Stamp Set Letter O
ImpressArt- 3mm, Dandelion (Small) Design Stamp
ImpressArt- Basic Metal Stamp Set, Lowercase, 3mm Letter O
Wood Handle Scratch Awl
8 Punch Dapping Block Set
Texturing Hammer
Ergo-Angle Metal Stamping Hammer
ImpressArt 2 by 2-Inch Steel Block
Folk Art Multi Surface Paints in Coordinating Colors (fuchsia, yellow, blue)
Paper Towels or Cloth
Beadalon Round Nose Pliers
2 Pairs ImpressArt Chain Nose Pliers
ImpressArt Flush Cutters

We’re adding texture to the blanks, so don’t be worried about making a consistent pattern. Hit stamps randomly across surfaces of your square, pebble, circle and washer. Overlap them. Change the alignment. Have fun and do not think about this too much!

For the heart, hammer one edge with your texture hammer and use the awl to add dots to the other side. Again, don’t over think this, it’s intuitive and fun! Place your circle into a dapping block, strike the top of the dapping tool several times with your brass hammer. When the shape is curved fully, remove. Add a little color to your blanks by saturating them with paint and wiping the surface paint off with a clean, dry paper towel or cloth. Let them sit for a few seconds before you wipe so the paint can settle into the recessed areas. Let the paint cure, it is designed for use with metals and other slick surfaces so it is going to last.

Make coiled dangles for all of your beads using the head pins. If you need a refresher, check out this video tutorial. Attach the charms to the necklace, starting with the largest square in the center and working your way up the sides. I added charms to the spaces between the stamped pieces. Use jump rings to attach and if you need to learn how to do this, here’s my video tutorial to show you how.

Try using different colors. Add more than one color paint to each blank. Use multiple stamps on each blank. Have fun making your own Eye Candy Metal Stamped Necklace and remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect!

Cheers,
Margot and Avalon

DIY Christmas Countdown Box

I LOVE crafting during the holidays, give me a theme and I am all over it! I broke out my stacks of vintage Christmas cards, metal stamps and a few simple craft supplies and got to work. Any excuse to eat chocolate every day and we are all in here at Casa de potter. Get the tutorial for our Retrofabulous DIY Christmas Countdown Calendar below!

You will need:

Karen Foster 3D Countdown Calendar, 25 Drawers
Upcycled Vintage or New Christmas Cards (you can score vintage ones on eBay)
25 ImpressArt, Circle, 7/8″, Aluminum Stamping Blanks- 24 pc.
Clear Faux Crystal Round Rhinestones Flatback Mixed Sizes
Kikkerland Biodegradable Paper Straws, Birch, Box of 144
Deco Art Americana Chalky Finish Paint, 8-Ounce, Everlasting
Ranger Ink Stickles Glitter Glue – Star Dust
I Love To Create Aleene’s Always Ready Turbo “Tacky” Glue, 4-Ounce
Aleene’s Tacky Sticker Sheets, 12-Pack
Folk Art Enamel Acrylic Paint, Licorice
Fiskars Round’n Round Squeeze Punch, Medium
Jeweler’s Files or Sand Paper
ImpressArt 2 by 2-Inch Steel Block
Ergo-Angle Metal Stamping Hammer
ImpressArt- Varsity Number Metal Stamps
Fiskars Crafts Duck Edition Scissors
Cotton Swab
Paper Towel

Before you start, paint the entire box and every drawer with a layer of Chalky Finish Paint in everlasting. This gives the perfect vintage finish, like the old Putz houses. Trust me, it’s worth the effort!

Step One: Make your stamped blanks first. Begin by using the round end of a ball peen hammer to texture the blanks. Don’t be afraid, just go at it like one of Santa’s elves.

Step Two: Hold the stamp firmly between your thumb and forefinger as in picture with your hand slid down and resting on the bench block. Give it one firm hit with the brass hammer. Don’t move your hand or you may end up with a funky number.

Step Three: Remove stamp, use a cotton swab to apply paint. Let paint sit for 30 seconds, wipe clean with a paper towel. Make numbers 1-25.

Step Four: Cut the cards to make it easy to reach the images you need. Insert and punch. You will need 25 images.

Step Five: Use sticker sheets to apply the punched images to the front of each box. (NOTE: You can opt to decoupage, but I am impatient and this makes quick work of attaching the images. I LOVE sticker sheets. LOVE. THEM. You can seal them if you like with a spray sealer, or not. Entirely up to you, my dear.)

Step Six: Rough up the back of your stamped blanks with a jeweler’s file or sand paper to help them adhere better. Glue numbers and rhinestones around images, varying shapes and placement.

Step Seven: Carefully squeeze a thin bead of Stickles around edges of images. Snip the straws to fit the bottom front of the boxes and CAREFULLY glue to box so you don’t smear your glitter. You could let the glitter dry if you’re patient, I am not. Have I mentioned that?

Step Eight: Repeat for all 25 of your boxes.

But wait…there’s more!

Step Nine: After I finished the boxes and had ~~decimated~~ carefully cut up a small pile of vintage greeting cards, I realized the top and sides looked a little…meh. So I cut up some fun words and images from the cards and attached them with the sticker sheets.

Step Ten: Then I edged everything with more Stickles, because there is never enough sparkle, people. Never. Enough. Sparkle.

Step Eleven: Then I stepped away and let the whole thing DRY OVERNIGHT.

How cute is this? These vintage images are just so much fun!

Make it uniquely yours using whatever images you like. Try wrapping paper, new cards, magazine images…whatever rings your bell. It’s a great way to use up those Christmas cards you may have saved from last year. If you make one, we would LOVE to see it, so be sure to share in the comments.

Happy Stamping!

Stamped Aluminum Wire Necklace

(THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS, IF YOU CLICK ON A LINK AND MAKE A PURCHASE WE GET A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE SALE.)

I’ve been working with wire for years, but I’ve never been a huge fan of aluminum wire. It’s so soft and malleable, I just couldn’t see the point…until now. I got a coil of 12 gauge Aluminum Artistic Wire recently and started playing. I was so excited when I discovered that by hammering and stamping, it was possible to work harden the wire enough to make some beautiful jewelry. Aluminum will stay shiny too, and gets even shinier when you hammer it, so that’s another bonus. Plus, it’s very inexpensive so it’s a great place to start playing with wire if you’re a newbie. I made this Stamped Aluminum Wire necklace to wear to a big trade show and I thought it would be fun to share the technique I used with you. Stamping on this wire does take a little practice, because the stamps have to be centered. Make sure you flatten it enough to accommodate the width of the stamp, nothing wider than 1.5 for a full impression, the stamp I used to make the stripes was a little wider than that.

Watch the video for the tutorial and grab the materials below!

What you need to make this Stamped Aluminum Wire Necklace (these are affiliate links, if you click on a link and make a purchase we get a small percentage of the sale, which is how we pay the rent!):
Artistic Wire Aluminum Craft Wire, 12 Gauge
ImpressArt, Circle, 1/2″, Aluminum Stamping Blanks
ImpressArt, Tag, Oval, w/ Ring, 5/8″, Aluminum Stamping Blanks
Beads (Swarovski Light Rose, 8 MM round beads, Swarovski Crystal, #6480 Spike Pendant 18mm Crystal Golden Shadow
, Swarovski Crystal, #5051 Oval Mini Beads 10mm, Crystal Golden Shadow
Beadalon Jump Ring 6mm Silver Plated
Beadalon Chain, 6m, Small Cable, Silver Plated
Beadalon Lobster Clasp Medium Silver Plated
Beadalon Ball Head Pin Silver Plated
1.5mm + stamp (You can find one in the new 1.5 mm Deco lower case font set from ImpressArt)
3mm Basic Sans Serif Lowercase “l” ImpressArt- Basic Metal Stamp Set, Lowercase, 3mm
ImpressArt Stamp Enamel
ImpressArt Chasing Hammer
ImpressArt Nylon Hammer
Artistic Wire Nylon Jaw Pliers
ImpressArt Ergo-Angle Metal Stamping Hammer
Round Nose Pliers
2 Pairs ImpressArt Chain Nose Pliers
ImpressArt Steel Stamping Block
Beadalon Leather Pad For Block and Anvil
Beadalon Memory Wire Shear
ImpressArt Hole Punch Pliers
Paper Towel

Steps:

Cut wire segments using memory wire shears or flush cutters, make sure both ends are flush cut. If they’re pointy, your hammered pieces will be scratchy!

Use flat end of chasing hammer to flatten wire enough that it will be able to accept the 1.5mm stamps. Don’t overdo this, if you over hammer you will go from work hardening to making it brittle. Yup, more physics. Use round end to add texture.

Use stamps to add patterns to some of the wires. I used the ‘+’ on some and the ‘l’ on others as stripes, varying it on the diagonal and straight across. Make a variety of lengths of wire pieces, as you can see I even did a double segment for two of them.

Pierce a hole in both ends of the wire with the metal hole punching pliers. Make sure the pliers are centered before you punch!

Add Stamp Enamel to the pieces you’ve stamped, let sit for 10 seconds, wipe clean.

Stamp your charms, you can do this as you will. I like to use the tilt and tap method, which means I hit the stamp once dead center, DO NOT LIFT IT, rock to the four corners and hit each time and one last hit dead center. If you lift the stamp, this won’t work, so keep it secure. I made some blanks with hammered edges, some with dotted accents, some with dots and plus signs. Get creative!

Pierce a hole in the top and bottom of each charm with the hole punching pliers.

Slide beads on head pins and make coiled top dangles. You can find a video to do this here.

Put it all together using jump rings to connect the elements. Make sure each dangle is hanging from the bottom of the chain links, I spaced them out by four links. It will require you taking your time to get them all hanging from the bottom, but this helps you keep it from being too wonky when you wear the piece. You will have to orient the dangles properly each time you wear this design so it falls properly, just an FYI.

That’s it! You can make this Stamped Aluminum Wire Necklace as dramatic and bold or simply and refined as you desire. These wire segments can be used to make all manner of fun things, even home decor items. If you make this piece or use this technique, let us know in the comments!

Cheers,
Margot and Avalon

DIY Metal Stamping on WBIR Channel 10

I appear on our local NBC affiliate in DIY craft segments every month. Yesterday, I got a chance to share my passion for all things metal stamping! Yup, I shared the basics of DIY metal stamping on WBIR Channel 10 here in Knoxville. We had a great time and Moira Kaye really seemed to enjoy it. My patient husband drove me there, helped me set up and break down and took some great pictures while I was taping. He’s the best metal stamper in the family by far, but he prefers staying out of the spotlight!

The more I stamp and talk with folks about it, the more I fall in love with it. There is something so satisfying about smacking a hammer on a stamp and making a piece of jewelry in seconds. It’s easy and fun. Once you start, it really is addicting in the best possible way. Check out our metal stamping on WBIR Channel 10 segment below. I share some quick tips and tricks for making a quick and easy initial pendant using ImpressArt metal stamps, SoftStrike blanks, StampStraight tape and the ImpressArt brass hammer. Good times!

Cheers,
Margot and Avalon

DIY Metal Stamped Washi Tape Pendant

Capture that happy springtime feeling with a DIY metal stamped washi tape pendant. Or remind yourself to keep moving, even when you feel like standing still. Either way, you’ll look pretty doing it! You can find these balsa wood tags in the scrapbook aisles at the craft stores. Add some matching beads and a custom stamped pendant to bring it all together. Learn how to stamp along a curved edge and…what not to do when stamping a word that uses the same letter multiple times. Derp. I got the miniature tape set with tiny tape dispenser at our local Target, but I’ve included a link to some other options below. I have to admit that I’m developing a mini-obsession with washi tape.

You will need:
Wood Tag
ImpressArt, Washer Stamping Blanks, Aluminum, 1 1/2″- 24 pc.
4mm Beads in pastel colors
10-MM Jump Ring Nickel Free Silver Plate
3 Ball Tipped Head Pins
Ball Chain Necklace 18 Inch With Clasp
ImpressArt Metal Stamping Kit- Newsprint Lowercase
ImpressArt Stamp Straight Tape
ImpressArt Chasing Hammer
Folk Art Enamel Acrylic Paint, Licorice
Paper towel or cloth

Step one: Stick washi tape in strips across front of tag. The top strip is super thin, but if you burnish it with your fingernail it will stay. I swear! If you want, you can seal this with some decoupage medium. Step two: Use small scissors or a craft knife to trim excess tape flush to edge of pendant. I put tape on both sides, you can do the same or opt to leave the back plain. Step three: Tape blank down to bench block with StampStraight tape, this helps secure it while you stamp. Use the round end of your ball pein hammer to add texture. Map out the placement of your letters. If you start in the center, it helps line them up evenly. There is a space between the words, make sure you leave it open. I have a diagram below, so check that out for help! The key is to turn the bench block as you work so the space you are stamping is directly facing you. Hold the stamp flush and in the center of the blank. Hit one time with the brass hammer. Move over to the next letter. Because this blank is circular the stamps are turned slightly each time, kind of like a clock! Start at 6 with the letter f and you’ll end at 2 and 10 with s and d. Step four: Swipe acrylic paint or permanent marker across letters, wipe off with a paper towel. Step five: Make some coiled dangles using matching beads. Connect the beads, stamped washer and washi tape pendant together with a jump ring. Attach it to a ball chain. Oh and…the letter “r” appears in this pendant three times, only I kept skipping it and stamping Spring Foward. Derp. Me spell pretty. Try to remember to use all of the letters in your words. Yes, I make mistakes too.

Here’s a guide to help you stamp on the washer. Hope it helps!

That’s it, pretty, simple, flirty, fun and with a little practice stamping (and spelling,) easy! Now you can make a DIY Metal Stamped Washi Tape pendant of your own!

We’d love to see your metal stamped creations. We’re going to be doing regular stamping round-ups so if you have a DIY metal stamping project you want us to share, let us know! You can email us or leave a link in the comments.

Margot and Avalon
