lately. I know I have! A wonderful example of this is in Heather Wynn's jewelry.
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! Click here to learn how to make your own stamped charms!

Hey Lorelei! Great article! Here's another tip - I bought my 3mm set from Cool Tools, www.cooltools.us. I believe it cost about $12.50.
Good to know! Thanks for the tip!
I 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!

This is great!!!! I cant wait to purchase the tools. What about the blank charms?
My 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!
