Initial Pendants Wood Three copy

Miss Avalon made these pretty pendants and we LOVE them!  You only need a few metal stamps and a few minutes to make these DIY metal stamped initial pendants.  It doesn’t get much easier than that!  We’ve used a dandelion stamp to add interest to the edges and extra large stamps for the initials.  You can opt to add texture or leave the blank smooth, that’s totally up to you.

What you need:
ImpressArt Pewter Stamping Blanks
Ball Chain Necklace with Clasp
Beadalon 10-MM Jump Ring
1/4” 6mm Metal Punch Stamp Lowercase
1/4” 6mm Metal Punch Stamps Uppercase
Ergo-Angle Metal Stamping Hammer
ImpressArt Chasing Hammer
ImpressArt 2 by 2-Inch Steel Block
ImpressArt Chain Nose Pliers
ImpressArt Bent Nose Pliers
ImpressArt Stamp Straight Tape
Folk Art Enamel Acrylic Paint, Licorice

Metal Stamped Initial Pendants Steps

One: Use rounded end of chasing hammer to add texture on surface of blank.  Two: Use dandelion stamp to stamp texture along edges of blank.  This is organic and freeform, don’t worry about it being “perfect.” Three: Stamp letter in center of blank. Four: Swipe paint or marker across surface of blank and wipe from surface. Color will rest in the stamped areas.

Step Five

Five: Attach charms to chain using a jump ring and chain nose pliers.

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!

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.

5-8

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!
