DIY Stamp Necklace for Mother

Just on the other day I saw the hand stamp necklaces on the Internet. They are so pretty. So I decided to make a hand stamp necklace by myself. Make it into a mother’s necklace and it’s a beautiful gift. I thought this could be timely since Mother’s Day is coming up. I’ll teach you how to hand stamp jewelry so you can make one. Then you can make one for your mom. She’ll be so proud.


Supplies:

- Metal Blanks
- Metal Letter Stamps
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Pro Polish Pads
- Birthstone Crystals
- Head Pins
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Metal Puncher
- Hammer
- Necklace Chain

Instructions:

1. Grab your metal blank. Also get out your metal stamps.

2. Decide how you want to stamp-as in where you want the name or initials that you are stamping. Line up your stamp carefully on your blank and give it 2 good whacks with the hammer. Do this for each letter until you have spelled out your word.

3. Using your black sharpie, fill in all the letters.

4. Use your pro polish pads to wipe that sharpie off. The ink will wipe off but stay down in the grooves so that the name now stand out.

5. Use your metal punch to make a hole in the top.

6. The optional steps: Add a birthstone crystal or 2. Or you can add pearls or other pretty beads.

7. To make a sweet little dangle string your bead onto a head pin and bend it down and twist it. You can do this onto a little ring that you can attach to the necklace on the chain or just use the head pin to create a loop.

Now just string it all together and package it up nice. I think your mom will love this personalized necklace!
