Step one: Tape your heart blank down to the bench block, align tape just below the center of the heart. Stamp ‘&’ symbol in center and the first initials of the happy couple on either side. Step two: Wipe paint across letters, wipe off excess with paper towel. Step three: Use bent and chain nose pliers to attach pendant to jump ring and chain. Step four: Tape the rectangle pendant to the bench block. You can stamp left to right or top to bottom. Stamp date. Use an awl or a period stamp in between the numbers of the date. Make sure you don’t hit the awl too hard, pewter is softer than base metal. Step five: Swipe paint across surface of stamp. Wipe off excess. Step six: Attach pendant to jump ring and ball chain.
