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.

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.

Stamped Metal Necklace

This week’s DIY is a stamped metal necklace on a leather cord. You’ll learn how to stamp, ink, make a two part pendant and turn leather cord into a necklace with 20 gauge plated craft wire. We love leather cord for guys and gals to give your jewelry a more casual, laid back appeal.

My sister-in-law Alison was visiting us this weekend for her birthday. I had just *received the new arrow and heart stamps from Beaducation along with their fabulous new beginner’s metal stamp kit and an array of blanks and this design came together from there. One of the best things about hand stamped jewelry is that you can easily share a personalized message using images, numbers and letters. Aluminum blanks are soft and very easy to stamp, I like them best hammered to give them texture and make them look more like precious metal. This is a very easy design to execute and Beaducation has everything you need in their beginner’s kit. In fact, I’ll be giving this kit away on Wednesday, so make sure you come back to enter for the chance to win! (US Residents only.)

You will need:

Beaducation aluminum blanks in flower and heart
2 4.5mm jump rings
Black leather cord
20 gauge silver plated copper wire
Lobster clasp
OR Black leather finished necklace
Beaducation Stamping on Metal Starter Kit: Includes bench block, economy stamps in 1/8″ size, 1.5mm hole punch pliers, Sharpie marker, printed instructions, video tutorial CD, copper sheet, ball chain necklace, copper blanks, stamping tape, pro polish pads
Heart Arrow Stamp
Tiny Fat Lined Heart Stamp
1 pound brass stamping hammer
Chasing hammer
Black acrylic paint dabber
Round nose pliers
Chain nose pliers
Flush cutters
Paper towel

Step one: Use round end of chasing hammer to hammer texture on surface of both blanks. Step two: Stamp MY AIM and arrow on flower blank as shown. Step three: Stamp IS TRUE and heart on heart blank as shown. Step four: Use pliers to pierce a hole at the top and bottom petal of flower and top of the larger side of the heart blank as shown.

Step five: Dab paint into stamped areas of blanks. Wipe off excess with paper towel. Step six: Connect the two blanks with a jump ring. Attach a second jump ring to the top hold in the flower blank. Step seven: Cut leather to desired length. Step eight: Use round nose pliers to create a small loop in the end of your wire coil.

Step nine: Wrap wire around leather, working up from turned loop. You will need to leave about 1/4″ of leather on the tail and will coil approximately 5 times. Make sure you wrap this tightly and take your time so it’s neatly coiled. Step ten: Cut the end from wire when you have almost reach the end of the leather. Use cutters to remove excess leather. Step eleven: Grasp the final coil and turn it up to create a loop using your chain nose pliers. Adjust the loop, making sure it’s flush to the top of the leather end with your round nose pliers. Use the chain nose pliers to gently compress the coils together to remove any gaps. Do this on both sides of your leather. Step twelve: Gently open one end loop to attach a clasp. Step thirteen: Attach the pendant to the front of the leather using pliers. Step thirteen: Wear!

Fabulous Photo Pendant DIY

Today we’re sharing a Fabulous Photo Pendant DIY! The thing we love most about hand stamped jewelry is that it’s so easy to customize and to share your story with others. Nothing says, “I love you” quite like a hand made gift, especially when you include a personalized photo and a sweet sentiment they can wear. You’ll need to use photo editing software to size your image to fit in the tiny frame. We love PicMonkey, because it makes it so easy to edit photos even for the novice photo editor, you can even add the heart accent there instead of cutting and gluing. We love adding a little dimension with a hand cut heart and Aleene’s new Tacky Glue bottles make it quick and easy to assemble your mini-collage. Oh and have we mentioned how much we love this tiny camera stamp from ImpressArt? See below for some tips on success with using design stamps.

Just print, cut, glue, stamp, connect and you’ve got a gift for your BFF or your sweetheart in under 30 minutes. Now that is fabulous! (NOTE: Our posts contain affiliate links. This is how we are able to provide these “free” tutorials. When you click on a link and buy something, we get a small percentage of the sale.)

What you need:

Image sized to fit frame
Tiny red paper heart
Tiny photo frame pendant
ImpressArt Soft Strike pewter star pendant
6mm Jump Ring, Silver Plate
10mm Jump Ring, Silver Plate
Ball chain necklace
Aleene’s Always Ready Quick Dry “Tacky” Glue-4Oz
Folk Art Enamel Acrylic Paint in Licorice
ImpressArt- 6mm, Camera Metal Stamp
1/16″ Letter and Number Set Metal Stamps
ImpressArt 1/2 lb. Brass Stamping Hammer-
ImpressArt 2 by 2-Inch Steel Block, Small
Eurotool EuroPunch Pliers
Cotton swab
Paper towel

Quick tips for success stamping design stamps: We usually recommend that you only strike your blank one time, this helps prevent skipping or ghost impressions. When using design stamps, you can strike the stamp more than once BUT it is very important that you do not lift or shift the stamp. First make sure that all of the surface area of the image on your stamp is in direct contact with the blank. Hit once hard dead center. Rock the stamp gently to the upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right hitting it each time with your hammer at an angle, but keeping the stamp in the same position on the blank. This takes practice, so grab some sheet metal or a blank you’ve already messed up to get a feel for the motion.

Step one: Stamp the camera stamp in the center of the star blank. Use the rocking technique to make sure you get a crisp impression. Step two: Stamp the word “smile” under the camera. Start in the center with the letter “I” and stamp left and right so the word is centered. (Note: We used the round end of our hammer to add texture to the surface of the blank. Gently hit the blank with the hammer repeatedly to recreate this look.) Step three: Use cotton swab to apply enamel paint to stamped areas of your blank, allow to sit for 30 seconds and wipe off excess with paper towel. Cut your photo to fit the frame. Fold and cut red paper to make heart. Step four: Glue heart to image using a thin layer of Tacky Glue applied with your finger tip.

Step five: Insert your dried collage into the frame. You can add a thin layer of glue to the back to secure it, but do this carefully to avoid smearing glue on front of glass. Step six: Mark and pierce a hole in the center bottom of the star. Step seven: Connect the pendants with a 6mm jump ring. Step eight: Connect a 10mm jump ring to the top of the star and slide your ball chain through.

Smile, gorgeous!

You made your own fabulous photo pendant DIY! Go, you!

Artist Spotlight: Lisa Pace

We’re thrilled to shine a big, bright spotlight on the multi-talented mixed media artist Lisa Pace. A best selling author, Lisa has a popular website where she shares tutorials and design inspiration. She has her own line of gorgeous rubber stamps and an array of wonderful vintage inspired kits, supplies and e-classes. You can find her stunning metal stamped designs in her Etsy Shop. We asked Lisa our Five Easy Questions and here are her answers.

1. When did you start making jewelry and why? I have been metal stamping off and on for several years but just recently started making jewelry. I have a true love for unique items especially bracelets. So I decided to give jewelry making a try. I really enjoy making cuffs and charm bracelets that incorporate my love of vintage treasures with a little modern twist. My latest book Delight In The Art of Collage has several metal stamped items that accent projects as well as a simple step by step tutorial on basic metal stamping.

2. What is your favorite source for jewelry making inspiration? I find inspiration for jewelry making from all over. I find unique color combinations and designs from of all things, junk mail and of course magazines but I find that Mother Nature is one of my favorite sources. Nature is filled with all kinds of amazing colors, designs and textures.

3. What advice do you have for folks just starting out? The best thing you can do for yourself when starting to create jewelry is to spend that little extra money on quality tools. In the long run these tools will save you money and hours of frustration. My favorite stamping go to keep handy tools are a Brass Stamping Hammer, Large Jeweler’s Solid Steel Bench Block , ImpressArt 2-Hole Punch and of course Stamp Straight Tape. With these tools you are set to create beautiful metal stamped jewelry.

4. What tips or tricks can you share for successful metal stamping? My best tip for metal stamping is to use Stamp Straight Tape. This tape is a life saver and a blanks saver. Promise! Not only does Stamp Straight Tape help you accurately stamp onto metal but it doesn’t leave a sticky mess on your steel block.

5. Where can our readers find you? Readers can find me online via my website/blog, Etsy and Social Media.
