Stamping Part is a crafty way to express your jewelry making
creativity. With inexpensive stamps you can add names, dates or whatever message
you decide to pass along. You can add stamped metal charms to bracelets or
necklaces or use them alone as earrings. However you decide to use them, your
stamped metal pieces will help you make a personalized handcrafted statement. When
stamping metal or performing any metal to metal activity, there's always a
chance of a mishap. Protect your eyes with an inexpensive pair of safety
glasses available at hardware stores.
These are exactly as the name suggests. They are simple
blank metal pieces with room for stamping on words or textures. Some metal
blanks come with one hole that makes them convenient for earrings, charms or
necklaces. Others have two holes to create bracelets. Some come in decorative
shapes. If you know how to use a jeweler's saw or metal shears, create your own
custom metal blanks in whatever size or shape you choose. Order copper, brass,
sterling silver or gold filled sheet from a company like Rio Grande or Indian
Jewelry Supplies. A resourceful crafter may also find usable pieces of copper
or brass at a local scrap yard. If you make blanks yourself, you'll need a
manual hole punch or drill to add holes.
A quick Google search turns up a number of metal blank
suppliers for stamping. Rings & Things has decorative blanks in several
shapes. A few Etsy shops sell handcrafted metal blanks as well. Select the
metal blank of your choice, then decide what you want to say. Keep the message
simple. Stamping letters on metal can be a bit tedious. To get the letter
spacing and hammer pressure that's right for you, practice stamping a few
letters on a scrap of metal. Remember, once you stamp a letter on your metal
piece, it's pretty much permanent. You can remove it, but it will take a lot of
filing, sanding and possibly hammering to correct a mistake.
