This simple, stamped necklace design idea would also work well to embellish a handmade card, or could be used as part of a set of miniature Christmas ornaments. Use larger letter stamps for larger ornaments. Create any custom phrase using 24-gauge brass, copper or sterling sheet!

Tips and techniques for this necklace:
  • Make large loops on the head pins. Attach the first head pin to the "Merry" charm, and the other two to the first. (Hang the first from the chain on a split ring.)
  • Metal stamping technique sheet
  • Wrapped loops
