A Beautiful Mess. I am a total sucker for personalized items. As I type this, I'm drinking coffee out of a mug with a big gold "G" printed across it—I just can't help it. Personalizing potential is one reason that I love doing projects with stamped jewelry. I made these hand-stamped necklaces a few months ago, and I still wear them all the time. So I thought it would be fun to make an initial bracelet as well. The other thing I love about stamped jewelry is that it looks really professional, so unless you confess your little DIY secret, everyone will think you special ordered it from somewhere. Supplies:– gold coin discs (with holes already punched)– gold chain– jump rings– lobster claw closure– jeweler's bench block - letter or number punch stamps (I used 6mm size stamps)- hammer– tape– needle nose pliers– jewelry wire cutters– rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol) and black marker (optional) First you'll want to tape the very top and bottom edge of your coin onto your jeweler's block.
A Beautiful Mess. Ever since I started playing around with DIY stamping techniques last year, I have to admit that I've been a little obsessed (so far I've also made these bracelets and necklaces). There are so many different ways to use the stamping materials, and I really like this version that uses long stamping blanks mounted to leather bracelets. They are pretty fast to make, and you can customize them a lot by using different colors of leather and stamping whatever phrase or hashtag you want on different ones.
Yay for choices! Supplies:-scraps of medium weight leather (real or faux)–metal bar stamping blanks–snaps and snap setter (line 20 size)–1/16" hollow rivets -1/16" hole piercing and setting tools (this tool is great and does both)-fabric scissors or metal ruler and rotary cutter–metal letter punch set Optional:–jewelers block (I recommend one as it gives you a cleaner stamp when under your metal)-Sharpie marker and rubbing alcohol (to darken the letters) A Beautiful Mess. I don't think I'm alone in this thought, but I love personalized objects. Take any cool object and add a phrase I love, my husband's or cats' names, a meaningful song lyric—I'm a total sucker for it all. For Valentine's Day this year I got a silver bar necklace with my guy's name engraved, and ever since then I've been dying for more personalized necklaces.
That's where the technique of stamping metal comes in! Once you get comfortable with the process, you can make all kinds of personalized projects.

Don't get me wrong - I love the idea of metal-stamping (I adore metalworking in general), I just couldn't invest in a set of metal-stamping tools until now (little did I realize it's not really that much of an investment for a basic set).

Today I want to show you my very first metal stamping project. Please keep in mind that I'm honestly showing you the VERY FIRST piece I ever metal stamped in my life, so it's nowhere near perfect, but I want to keep it real with y'all as always.
