Pendant tutorial: Personalize your tags!!

Ever wanted to write something special, custom, or downright ridiculous on metal tags?? Well this is how you do it:
Materials…here’s what you’ll need:

Aluminum (or any thin metal) tags…any shape will do
A small steel block (or other hard surface you can hammer on)
A Plastic, wooden, or rawhide malletLetter stamps

( you can find all of these tools at any metal supply store or super cheap online)

Step 1: Place aluminum tag on steel block and place first letter stamp face down but straight onto tag. Step 2: Take out letter stamps that have the corresponding letters to what you want to write and line them up in the order in which your word is spelled. We chose to stamp “Etsy” and “Etsy Labs” on our tags so we took out E, T, S, and Y letters. This step makes it easier when stamping to find what you are looking for and therefore you can get more done in less time.

Make sure the letter is in the right position and you don’t goof up by placing the letter backwards (like I have done several times in the past)!
Step 3: Holding the stamp on the tag with one hand, give the top of the stamp a couple firm straight blows with your hammer or mallet.

Then repeat this step by positioning the following letters where you would like them to fit on your tag and hammering them in place.
Step 4: Admire your new customized tag! If you would like, you could add a patina to the letters to make them stand out a bit more, but we chose the “just stamped” look for ours!

Happy Stamping, and keep in mind we have all the tools here if you’d like to drop by and customize a piece of your own!

i prefer to use a metal/ steel hammer a rather heavy one the main idea being to get your impression in one good strong blow using a plastic/soft mallet requires multiple blows and greatly increases the chances of getting 'ghost' images from the stamp being just a tiny bit out of place from the original blow.......

just one good hard SMACK one move on to the next letter placement of letters is a whole lesson in itself good luck

I recently had my choice of tags and up to 4 lines of print that I could put on them. Where can you get them? vet's office. Cost? $6.00 per tag which includes the cost of having them mailed directly to me.

I love doing things myself, but sometimes it is not worth it.

The Requiem shows up so many cool pictures that got me thinking a lot. And I really mean that a lot of requiem gold is very important and required. First off if the name is not taken the name and some requiem lant of book Requiem I do not if it is allowed to name a book. Some requiem money will well enough chatting better go and write this book. Comment on this please should I write this book or not. See you. In Requiem, there is blood. Monsters, blood, bigger monsters, and yes, more blood and need cheap requiem lant. You know what that requiem online gold means; there are factions, races changing sides, and all out war.

This M-rated horror title brings a new option and requiem gold to standard game fare. Ghoulish experiments will allow characters to obtain requiem lant or traits that nature never intended. Imbued with unholy power, there are many times and requiem money more powerful than the daylight denizens. The game will be free to play with two levels of subscriptions and cheap requiem lant. Why can not fucking MMO have more requiem online gold of games with that huh, all modern day console games have that, I mean come on.

You're really supposed to use a steel hammer for the impression, then you're supposed to use the plastic mallet to flatten out your work afterwards if it curls up.
