Step 1: Gather Materials

For the Stamping Necklace you'll need a stamping hammer, a black sharpie, tape, a silver disk, a stamping block, a chain, jump rings, metal stamps, steel wool, and a charm of your choice.

Step 2: Putting the Tape on the Stamping Block

Take your stamping block and put the silver disk on top. Then, put tape above the disk to hold it up. Then put tape bellow where you want to stamp. There should be a thin line where the tape isn't in the center of the disk.

Step 3: Stamping

Now you're ready to stamp. Pick out a word or two to stamp. I picked believe, but you can pick whatever you want. Take the metal stamps of your choice and position them on the disk. Your thumb should be touching the letter on the side of the stamp. Take your hammer. Hammer the stamp once soft and once medium. Continue until word is done.

Step 4: Darkening and Polishing

Take the tape off your disk and take your sharpie out. Draw over the letters so that they are pitch black. Once they are pitch black, take your steel wool and polish all the sharpie that went out of the letters. Polish until only your letters are dark.

Step 5: Picking Out Your Charm and Attaching Jump Ring

Take your charm out. I had a cross and a ruby heart, but you can chose whatever you want. Open your jump ring and attach it to charm and chain. Close your jump ring. You now have a homemade stamped necklace.
