You are an Angel Metal Stamped Ornament!

 Angel Ornament!  I love metal stamping! I want to stamp letters on anything metal! I found this angel ornament at Goodwill for 30 cents.  Took it out to the workshop. Supplies: Metal stamps Heavy hammer metal to stamp on  I just stamped freehand... you could mark it out with sharpie to keep it even.  Then fill it in with sharpie marker.  Let it sit a few minutes. Then rub off the surface with a Mr. Clean eraser. Looks great!  Fun and whimsical for an angel ornament! Check out all these other things to metal stamp! Pennies! Keys Washers Bigger Washers!

Daddy Dog Tags!

 Metal Stamping is so much fun! I want to stamp everything in sight!  I got dog tags for less than $1. And used my letter punches from Hobby Lobby and a heavy hammer. Work on a hard flat surface...like a marble slab or solid work bench.  To stamp out the words Place the punch in place and hammer firmly once. This metal dog tag was soft and easily took the impression. Some metals require a little more effort.  Best dad ever!  Filled in with sharpie marker...  and wiped off with a mr. clean eraser...  love it!  Great gift for a guy!
