Whether you want to personalize a piece of jewelry for a gift, or if you want to display a quote, these stamped charms can definitely jazz up any piece!
I know I’ll be saving my pennies to buy my own set of stamping tools. They now have them available at Fusion Beads! They have stamp sets available in a few different sizes, as well as the silver blanks. OR if you want to save some cash, you can also get a cool 1.5mm set on Etsy at Evies Tool Emporium for only $12.00 (plus shipping)! The only other thing you’ll need for this project is a bench block and a regular household hammer. Another cool feature about Fusion Beads is they also offer a free instructional stamping technique!

May 15, 2008 at 3:38 pmHey Lorelei! Great article! Here’s another tip – I bought my 3mm set from Cool Tools, http://www.cooltools.us. I believe it cost about $12.50.

May 15, 2008 at 6:07 pmI love my metal stamping tools, here’s a little hint I learned from having the pooch leave the room whenever I used them – underneath the metal block or anvil use a thick computer mousepad. It absorbs some of the vibration without dampening the strike on the metal tool. Keeps the sound down – not elminated, but less!

May 7, 2010 at 2:41 amMy husband stopped by Harbor Freight in Nashville on the way home from work one day and picked up two sets of metal stamps for me. You might try a store like this is you have one in your area, since many machinist use the stamps to identify their tools, etc. They were less than $5 a set. My biggest problem has been locating the disc blanks at a cheap price!
