Metal Stamping

 

So I have a new favorite hobby!!!!! I was searching for a cute girls camp idea - I have long been a fan of Sassy Jewlery and www.mountaingirlsilver.com , I wear my kids names around my neck and never take them off. I started looking into how I could do it myself. My friend found me the following blog with step by step instructions. I bought my alphabet from Harbor Freight for $4.99, the washers are $.10 each! I stamped the names of my kids' classmates and made key chains for Valentine's Day. We are doing necklaces for gils camp. Check out http://beachellfamilyof6.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to.html or www.beaducation.com for instructions and tips.

Do you care if I copy you on this one too? I have been wanting to try metal stamping, but figured it would be WAY too expensive, apparently I was wrong. We LOVE Harbor Freight at our house, I can't believe I never noticed the letters!

No way! I just bought the tools to do the same thing. I'm so excited! They look great!

Okay, I have never heard of Harbor Freight, but those little key chains are too cute. I'll have to look into that...and have another type of project to get hooked on. Thanks!
