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.

*You will need:

ImpressArt Horseshoe Stamping Blanks
ImpressArt 1/2″ Circle Stamping Blank
5 6mm Nickel Free Copper Plated Jump Ring
Copper Chain with Clasp
Folk Art Enamel Paint-Licorice
Awl
3mm Upper and Lower Case Stamps

Cotton swab
Paper towel

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.

Cheers,
Margot and Avalon

DIY Metal Stamped Necklace

Learning to use a jeweler’s saw requires a little learning curve and a lot patience. We love this shortcut approach to making custom shapes out of existing blanks with metal shears! BIG shout out to Lisa Niven Kelly of Beaducation for her scalloped necklace tutorial that inspired this design! She’s got a sight full of fabulous metal stamping ideas and products, so check it out. In this case, we’ve quickly turned circles and washers into pretty scallops. This is also a great way to save blanks with mistakes on them by cutting away the problem area and salvaging the rest. Adding some texture and pattern with a hammer and some font stamps makes quick work of creating this boutique chic metal stamped necklace. Your family and friends will be amazed when you tell them that you did it yourself! Go you!

*Materials

3 Impress Art Alkeme Stamping Blanks, Circle, 1-1/4″
2 Alkeme Stamping Blank, Washers, 1 1/4
10 10-MM Jump Rings, Silver Plated
Beadalon Lobster Clasp
Beadalon Chain Elongated Silver Plated
2 Beadalon Dapped and Spring Ear Wire Silver Plate
Ranger Vintaj Patina Retro Highway Kit
ImpressArt Basic Newsprint Uppercase Letter Metal Stamp Set
ImpressArt 2-Hole Punch Kit
Ergo-Angle Metal Stamping Hammer
ImpressArt Chasing Hammer
ImpressArt 2 by 2-Inch Steel Block
ImpressArt Stamp Straight Tape
Metal Cutting Shears
Sandpaper, Coarse and Sanding Block
ImpressArt Chain Nose Pliers
Pen
Paper Towel

Step one: Use a ruler and marker to mark center point of blank. Step two: Cut blanks in half with shears. Step three: Use the round end of the chasing hammer to add texture. Step four: Use a heavy grit sandpaper to sand the sharp edges of the blanks. Alkeme is soft and easy to sand, if you use base metal you may want to use a jeweler’s metal file instead.

Step five: Stamp random patterns on surface of blanks using letters. I used a different letter on each blank, you can also opt to just use all sorts of letters on every blank. Step six: Squeeze patina on blank, wipe clean with a paper towel leaving ink in stamped areas. Step seven: Use 2-hole punch to add holes on top left and right of each blank. Earring blank open scallops also need a hole in the top of the center for earring wires. Step eight: Use pliers to connect blanks, attach chain and clasp to end of chain. For earrings, attach full scallop on bottom and open scallop on top as in photo and slide earring wires into holes you punched on top of the open scallops.

You can take this idea and make it your own with a few small changes. Try making a full collar of open or closed scallops. Use smaller blanks or a variety of sizes and shapes to change the scale. Try cutting square, rectangular or oval shapes in half. We hope you love this metal stamped necklace as much as we do, happy stamping!

Cheers,
Margot and Avalon

Artist Spotlight: Adrianne Surian
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the lovely and talented Adrianne Surian of Happy Hour Projects. Adrianne is a prolific lifestyle blogger with a large and loyal following. She shares easy to DIY tutorials all focused on projects you can make in under an hour, which is terrific for the short attention span crafter. She’s an avid metal stamping enthusiast and her tutorials are fabulous with detailed step by step photos, videos and lots of inspiring new techniques. Adrianne took some time to answer our five easy questions and she shares some great tips for success making metal stamped jewelry and DIY projects!
1. When did you start making jewelry and why?
Forever and ever ago – truly. Like, macaroni necklace age. I really began to realize my interest in jewelry around age 8 when I learned to make paper beads, and when I made dozens and dozens of friendship bracelets. I played around with design concepts when I was about 10… not that the average 10-year-old oozes style, of course. I still remember a particularly interesting pair of earrings I made from a pair of miniature rubber frogs I talked my mom into buying me on a science museum trip. I’ve always leaned toward crafty, but jewelry is especially satisfying to make, because you can bring it with you, by wearing it!
1. What is your favorite source for jewelry making inspiration?
It’s usually the components themselves! A lot of times, I’ll get my hands on a specific piece – a bead, a charm, a certain shape – and I’ll get an idea to evolve it. Though I’m not going to lie, every time I’m out shopping, I have to take a peek at the new trends!
1. What advice do you have for folks just starting out?
Regarding design itself – if you enjoy it, then push your limits. Not every piece has to be perfect, allow yourself a learning curve. And put your own spin on any design that inspires you. You don’t ever have to make exactly what someone else does. Adding your own touch makes your piece truly one of a kind and that much more special.

If you do enjoy it… well, it’s like any hobby. You will end up with an enormous stash. So get organized early, and keep tabs on what you’ve got. It will save you money when you’re eyeing something fabulous… and can’t remember if you already bought it or not, haha. Not that that has happened, of course… ahem.
1. What tips or tricks can you share for successful metal stamping?
If you’re just starting out, then practice, practice, practice. Seriously. Keep with it. You’ll improve. In the early days, I was all over the place. I wrecked a lot of blanks. In fact, I still have them. I save my bad blanks for practice if it’s been a while since I’ve gotten the hammer out! It’s a great way to brush up my spacing and consistency before wasting a new blank – and it shows if it’s been a while since I stamped.

My other advice for beginners is: you won’t hit your hand. So don’t worry about it! Early on, my hesitation showed in the final product, and it’s because I was worried about exactly that.

If you’ve conquered the beginners’ hurdles, then my next advice is to step it up. Think outside your letter set. Think textures, shapes, and the other things that metal is, and what it can do. Once I started stamping spoons, I crossed over into a different way of thinking about stamping. The next thing I stamped was a copper sheet roof for a birdhouse. I’m starting to believe that there’s anything that can’t be stamped. Seriously. I will find a way.
1. Where can our readers find you?
I blog at Happy Hour Projects. My focus is tutorials and inspiration geared toward beginners, and I’ve been talking about my experience since I was a beginner myself!

You can visit Adrianne Surian at her website Happy Hour Projects and her social pages. You can find the links below! We’ll be back on Wednesday with more metal stamping inspiration!

Hammer, stamp, ink and layer and if you like you can make your own head pins and ear hooks using 20 gauge wire.

Step one: Hammer the heart stamp into the center of the smaller flower blank repeatedly, this is to create texture. Use round end of chasing hammer to hammer flower. Step two: Use round end of chasing hammer to hammer larger flower blank. Step three: Use dapping tool to dap smaller flower into a curved shape.

Step four: Use hole punch to pierce holes in top center petal of both blanks. I use chain nose pliers to pull one of the petals on the smaller flower back a little so it hangs nicely. (If you want the stamped areas on the center of the blank to be more defined, use a cotton swab to wipe some acrylic enamel paint on the blank. Let set for 30 seconds and use a soft cloth or paper towel to wipe away the excess.) Step five: Cut a 1″ segment of wire. Bend and loop the ends using round nose pliers. Step six: Hammer the loop flat with the flat side of your chasing hammer.

Step seven: Slide bead on wire. Bend wire flush to top of bead at a 90 degree angle. Cut wire to 1/4″. Grasp end of wire and bend into a loop. Step eight: Your ear wire loop needs to be bent perpendicular so the earring will hang to the front when attached. Use your chain nose pliers to gently bend the loop. If it opens up, be sure to secure it closed. Your round nose pliers can help with that. Step nine: Assemble the layers large to small attaching them to the jump ring and the ear wire as shown.

That’s it! Fun, fast and fabulous. You can make these in mixed metals, add larger beads, use colored paint and make this project your own. Adding texture to your metal really gives it an artisan appeal and it is so easy to do. With winter looming, these pretty DIY Flower Earrings give you just a touch of spring even on the coldest days.

Cheers,
Margot and Avalon

Artist Spotlight: Barbe Saint John

Meet metal smith and jewelry artist Barbe Saint John! Barbe has recently launched a new line of mid-century modern inspired jewelry that is exceptional in design and artistry. Her former line, Saints and Sinners was on the cutting edge of the mixed media/assemblage jewelry trend. We’ve been fans of her work for years and we were tickled pink when she agreed to answer our Five Easy Questions! Here are here insightful replies!

When did you start making jewelry and why?

I got started being creative at an early age-I was making very simple Barbie dresses with my Mom when I was 4, and my Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 5. My Grandmother was very into fashion and jewelry. It was her love of adornment that got me interested. She would give me her broken bead necklaces to string my own, and brought me a bead loom back from Arizona when I was about 8 yrs old. I’ve been making jewelry ever since.

What is your favorite source for jewelry making inspiration?

I have a great deal of diverse interests and hobbies so those are often my main inspirations. I currently have two lines of work. With my mixed media jewelry and art; my core inspirations are vintage fashions, science, archeology, Egyptology, and all things paranormal, weird or a bit mad. On the other hand, my modern jewelry line is inspired by mid-century art, artists and pop culture.

What advice do you have for folks just starting out?

First and foremost-buy the best tools you can afford. You don’t have to immediately invest in jeweler quality tools, but having good quality/mid-price range tools will save you frustration. Also, they will last you for years and you can slowly upgrade them to better tools over time. Also, practice and play with your materials often! Students and beginners get upset they didn’t make a “perfect” piece on their first try. It’s by practicing and playing, that you learn the skills and dexterity needed for jewelry making and you also will start to hone your own style/voice that way too.

What tips or tricks can you share for successful metal stamping?

The Stamp Straight Tape” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>Stamp Straight Tape has been a godsend for me!! I use to use multiple layers of duct tape, but that’s time consuming and leaves gummy residue on your block. Stamp Straight tape is thick enough you can “feel” it when you position your stamp and you don’t have to layer it. It’s sticky enough to hold but doesn’t leave a gummy residue on your block or blank. Also-practice makes perfect! Save your blanks and get a small sheet of 22g copper from a hobby or craft store. Lay down a few strips of Stamp Straight Tape and start hammering. You’ll quickly learn how to feel for the tape with your stamp, what the best distance between letters is, etc.

Where can our readers find you?

You can find me online at my website, blog, Etsy, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Modern Metal’s Pinterest.

Take a moment to visit Barbe Saint John and show her a little love. I guarantee you are going to be impressed with her work! Tune in Monday for a new DIY metal stamping tutorial!

Happy Stamping,
Margot and Avalon
