For metal stamping projects at home, the most commonly used materials are aluminum sand casting and iron and steel blocks. However, metal stamping can also be accomplished with wood, brass, bronze, copper, lead, zinc, tin, and nickel. The choice of materials is primarily dependent on the project's size and complexity. This article focuses on projects using aluminum sand cast aluminum and iron and steel blocks.

One easy way to add a creative touch to your home-made metal stamping block is by decorating with jump rings. Jump rings are simply decorative thin metal strips that fasten around a post or other metal surface. Should you have virtually any questions about exactly where along with tips on how to utilize runetsecretsx.ru, you possibly can call us with our own web site. They are then cut into desired lengths and glued onto the post using thick or thin glue. These versatile adhesive strips can be reused time and again, making them an inexpensive but versatile home accent. Alternatively, one can purchase pre-fabricated metal jump rings at hardware stores and online. Alternatively, if you have a sharpener, you can make your own jump rings using metal and a sharp metal blade.

A home-made metal stamping block is also easily transformed into a photo frame, a collectible pin, or even an outdoor ornament by decorating it with attractive pebbles. One can also use coins, jewels, beads, plastic flowers, and seed pods to create a unique stamping block. Using shells from your garage or collecting during gardening time will give you a variety of textures to choose from when creating these fun home accents. All you need is plain sand, wood pieces (preferably pre-scored), small stones, and some sort of medium to apply the paint.

To create a coin purse, first remove the face of your coin from its wallet and then clean the surface using rubbing alcohol and a soft brush. Scrub the coin's surface until it is shining and clean. Paint the coin purse by pressing the metal stamping block directly onto the desired surface. Next, use craft glue to attach the zipper to the inside of the purse and then glue the purse shut.

Another popular way of using metal stamps is creating key chains with the use of a metal stamping block and a hot glue gun. This method produces very nice looking chain. The first step is to take the metal stamping block, dampen it with some water, and then put the design you want on the front of the block. Make sure that the design is flush on the block. You can either put a design in vertical or horizontal fashion on the front side or bottom of the coin. Once the design is in place, use the hot glue gun to put the design in place and let it dry before you remove the chain from its base.

Another popular method of creating key chain using metal stamping block and a heat gun is to make the chain thin by dipping it into some super glue. This will help you achieve that 1-inch square key chain. To make the chain thinner, you can also apply a number of coats of super glue on the chain to make it thinner. Finally, once the chain is smooth with a round shaped stamp, then attach it to its base with the craft glue.
