Hi Beaducation. Your videos are very helpful and easy to understand. I was wondering, how can I make metal stamped cufflinks?
Hello! This would be a great gift! We haven't made stamped cufflinks, but here's an idea. Find cufflinks with a flat disc, then stamp a blank and adhere the blank to the flat disc with E6000 glue. Hope this helps!
Loved your video it helped out a lot. I do have a question for you. I’m new to all of it and I’m trying to learn as much. When I do my stamping I’ve noticed that it shows like a lighter shade on the back what can I do to fix it.
It's kind of just part of stamping. You are manipulating the metal so you might see some of the impression through to the other side. Some things to consider. 1. Are you stamping too hard? 2. How thick is your metal? You might consider stamping on thicker metal. 3. Check out this video! It's mainly about double sided stamping BUT it's a good reminder that sometimes both side of the metal need some finishing attention :)

Does anyone know what kind of blank is shown in the very opening with the birds and triangles? I like the beat up look around the edges. Does it come that way or are those added?
Those are actual metal design stamps! We carry them on our site. The birds are called "Love Birds" and you can find them here:

great idea! I will add it to the list
Hello. Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Can the same be done on colored metal sheets?
Hi Sandip.
We also like working with anodized aluminum which comes in a variety of colors.

may I ask, what's the best gauge and mm thickness for jumprings to hold circle blank pendants between 6-13mm ? I want something that I can rely on, and I've been using 0.7 and 1mm thick but unsure what's best. Does the hardness of the metal also plays a role I imagine? I wouldn't want it to be so hard that I make my life harder either haha, thanks!
here is a great guide to help visualize what size jump ring you may want for different size pendants. beaducation.com/pages/choosing-the-right-jump-ring-for-your-project And here is a youtube tutorial that discusses different types of jump rings, strengths, which to use, and HOW to properly close a jump ring. ua-cam.com/video/acuaFIKQFWw/v-deo.htmlsi=qMXu2GT2-nd1LDgS
Wow i really love this. Pls how can i get these tools?

Hi! I am having trouble with the stamping leaving scratches on the back of my piece each time. I am using rose gold bars and metal block. If I hit it once it doesn't imprint enough so I have to hit it twice but not super hard. I am also using 1.5mm letters on this small bar. Are there any ways to avoid the back of your project turning into a mess?
Hi! Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. There are a few options. 1: You can use a thicker bar. This will put more metal between the stamped impression on the front, and the back. 2: Use a highly polished bench block. This way the imperfections from the block won't damage the back of your bar. 3: Stamp lighter. This may not give you the look you want, but would prevent the back from having the "shadow" from the front stamping. 4: Polish the back of the bar once you're done stamping. We have a class called Polishing with Power Tools that would be helpful for this. I hope this helps! Happy stamping!
Hello!
I have this idea of buying some friendship necklace for my friend group but one of my friends name starts with a non english letter and I would have to add something. I don't have the supplies for metal stamping. I drug store jewellery ok to do metal stamping and can I use any kind of thing (like a tiny screwdriver) to stamp it on. I only need 2 little lines.
We carry a great starter kit. We recommend using only stamping tools like the ones shown in this tutorial:)
May I ask what size your letters you used?
Can I use the hole punch for alpaca (new silver)? And I notice that your item is not flat anymore....
the hold punch will work on most metals as long as they are 20g or thinner and not too hard. Yes, when stamping, sometimes it distorts the metal. If that happens, just hammer if back flat with a rawhide or plastic mallet.
Hello, I got a question,
Do I really need a metal stamping hammer, or can I just a regular one? Ive been using one that I had in my house and I don't know if it because is my first time working with this technique that I'm not having good results, or it is because I'm not using the proper hammer.
If you are using a household hammer for stamping, make sure the head weight a minimum of 16 oz. If you are not getting good enough impressions, check the weight of your hammer, make sure you are working on a sturdy work table, bench block does not have padding underneath. You don't have to use a brass mallet, but it does work great!
Hello just to ask which stamps would you say are better to use Impressart or Beadsmith??? i am torn on which ones to get swaying more Beadsmith as a little cheaper but dont want less quality..... HELP!!
ImpressArt for sure.
Great tutorial - I want to punch a hole through a penny, what would be the best hole plier to buy? And using the metal stamping tools you recommend, would these work on a penny?
For something that thick we would say using a drill or drill press might be best. You can ruin the hold punch pliers. You may also try a the power punch plier.
www.beaducation.com/p/1686-jewelry-making-tools-power-punch-plier
Just use a drill with a bit for metal
What hammer are you using please. I want to order on amazon but there seems to be a lot of disappointment about what is offered. Thanks from Maine
You can use anyone of these hammers for stamping. We sell the 1lb and 2lb brass hammers. 2lb is great for larger fonts and more detailed design stamps.

can you stamp 8mm silver square bead with this ?

Hi there! What kind of hammer are you using here? Also, does the sharpie seem to stay put after wearing for a long time? Thank you so much for your help and thank you for sharing the knowledge! -Rachel
+Rachel King Hello Rachel! Lisa is using a 1lb. brass mallet in this video. The marker is for marking, measuring, or adding temporary black in the impressions of stamped metal jewelry. You may find our Stamping page on our website fun, you can find it here: www.beaducation.com/stamping
Have a great day!
I have my first set now. But need help) maybe the hammer is too light or the absense of steel basement.. but if i make a strike - there is almost nothing on a brass tag. What do i do wrong?)) I’m so upset;( Thank you in advance!!!
We recommend using a hammer that is at least 16 oz (1lb) in the head of the hammer. Make sure not to have any padding under your metal bench block. For more tips on metal stamping check out the stamping on metal class.

Where did you get the thick block of metal thats under your project
Hi Amirah! You can find a selection of bench blocks on our website. Here's a link to what we offer: www.beaducation.com/home/search?qry=bench+block
Have a great day!
Hi, I am new to stamping. I no matter how hard I hit the stamp with the hammer, there isn't a letter left on the metal. Is this because I am using a rubber block underneath instead of metal?
HI Megan! Welcome to the wonderful world of stamping! Yes, you need a bench block under your metal to give resistance. This will allow a good impression to be created. Have fun!
Little late to the party, but can I use a normal hammer from a toolbox as well?
You can use a household hammer. Just make sure it is a minimum of 16oz (head of the hammer)
I'm new to metal stamping and have just recently used a 6mm stamp on a copper cuff blank. I tried to fill it in stamp enamel the same way that I would for the 3mm metal stamps that I have but it doesn't really work that well. Have you ever used a 6mm letter stamp and if so, is this a common problem for you? I've tried to research this answer on Google but with no avail. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
It should work just the same. Sounds like maybe you aren't getting the 6mm letter deep enough. Try using the tilt and tap method or striking the stamp harder.
www.beaducation.com/product_guides/6-tilt-n-tap-method-working-with-design-stamps
Thanks for answering my question. I'll give it a try and hope that it works out.
Use a paint stick. Look it up on Amazon.
It looks a little bent inward. Any advice on how to make it look straight?
The metal is going to distrort a bit naturally since you are hitting it with steel. You can flatten the piece with a plastic mallet. You can also use thicker metal. This is a quick tutorial on the basics but for more, check out our catalogue of metal stamping video classes. Links below!

Is there a way to flatten it back out?
Hi Daria! If your metal has some warping from the stamping you can use a plastic mallet, raw hide, or rubber mallet to flatten it back out. These mallets can be found on our website, www.beaducation.com. Have a great day!
So my hammer must not be heavy enough because I have to hit it like 20 times and sometimes it's still not enough...I have a short hammer with a metal top piece...I would like to be able to stamp with 1-2 strikes. What do you recommend?
You might try a 16oz (1lb) hammer or even a 2lb one. It makes a world of difference. Also, make sure you are stamping on a bench block and using metal soft enough to take the impression. Hope this helps! Sorry for the late reply!
Beaducation it was the metal! ...maybe the stamps too. I got different blanks and a better set of stamps and now it only takes me one strike! Made a world of difference. Thanks for your response ☺
Is a weighted hammer absolutely necessary? I've been trying a regular hammer and Im not sure if its the lack of steel block or hammer weight! please help ! xoxo
Yes it is, for the best stamping results. We recommend using at least a 1 lb hammer. And you need a metal stamping surface (steel block).

I have the same problem)) Have you already solved yours?) Share with me the experience please!
what letter size did you use, also the blank does not look flat after stamping, but rather inverted? how do you keep that from happening?

You are bending metal. It deforms. Flatten it out afterwards. My god people, your inane questions! If you can’t figure out these basics, I don’t think you should be trying this. It’s pretty basic.
Mkp20000 calm down
Hello, i'm thinking about to start a stamping "business" can you tell me about the tools??? how many mm of letters I need to buy and where can I find a good quality one.

Hello, I want to buy these circles. What size are you using in the video? Thank you :)
+Wioleth Hello! Lisa uses a 3/4" sterling silver circle blank. You can find our selection of blanks here: www.beaducation.com/product_categories/96-sterling-silver-circles-cogs
Have a great day!
Do you need that type of hammer or can you use any hammer?
We highly recommend a 1 lbs. brass mallet. As mentioned in the class it offers a soft but dense hammer face that will allow better impressions. If you use another type of hammer, just make sure it 1 lb. or heavier. Have fun!
How would I make this flat so that it is no longer bent? (indented)
If the blanks starts to curve you can flip it over and use a plastic mallet to flatten it. beaducation.com/products/plastic-mallet
Hello sister. Where can I buy this kind of tools to make such great jewelry pieces as yours? I have a limited income so the cheaper the better.

How do you not make it look so crappy? I mean, it looks all dented and dingged up.. how do you prevent that so it actually looks half decent?
The metal is being manipulated so there is no real way to prevent indents in the metal. However, hitting the metal too hard can make it worse, you can use thicker metal and also it requires some finishing techniques like sanding or polishing.

it really really helps to use a sandbag under the bench block beaducation.com/a/search?type=product&q=sandbag
You really can't hit it twice because you end up with two of the same letter. DONT HIT IT TWICE!!!! I've done it before and it ruined my piece!!
