Lucky Girl Hand Stamped Necklace

Here’s a fun Lucky Girl Hand Stamped Necklace that’s perfect for t-shirt season! We’re in the middle of some big changes here at Casa de Potter. I believe we make our own luck and so far, that’s been proving true as we navigate the challenges we’re facing. This is a little talisman to remind me of that whenever I start to feel stressed. I LOVE these horseshoe blanks from ImpressArt, don’t you? As soon as I saw them, I had the idea for this necklace Cute, yes? Easy too! This should take about 30-45 minutes to recreate, so it’s not as simple as our 10 minute crafts, but you can do this and we’ll show you how.

Step one: Hammer horseshoe blank with round end of chasing hammer. Step two: Stamp the word L U C K Y, leaving a space between each letter as shown (at the 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o’clock positions.) Start with the letter C in the center and move up each side. Step three: The blank may bend as your stamping, after you finish use the nylon hammer to flatten it back out. Step four: Use the awl or period stamp to add a dot in the center between each letter and at the top above the first and last letters as shown.

Step five: Hammer smaller blank with round end of chasing hammer. Step six: Stamp the word “girl” and add a period. Step seven: Use dapping block and tool to curve the smaller blank as shown. Step eight: Mark and punch holes at top center on both sides and on the bottom left side as shown.

Step nine: Use the cotton swab to swipe black enamel paint over stamped areas on both blanks. Wipe off excess with paper towels. Step ten: use jump rings to connect smaller blank to horseshoe. Step eleven: attach chains to top jump rings on horseshoe. Step twelve: Wear your new creation, lucky girl!

That’s all there is to it! Enjoy your Lucky Girl Hand Stamped Necklace and when the compliments pour in, tell ’em you made it yourself.
