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

30 Minute Craft: DIY metal stamped initial pendants

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

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.

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

That’s it, in four simple steps and under 30 minutes you can make your own easy DIY Metal Stamped Initial Pendants!

Cheers,
Avalon and Margot

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

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 1/2″ Circle Stamping Blank
5 6mm Nickel Free Copper Plated Jump Ring

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
