What are our top 5 metal stamping tools?<\/h2>\n

1. Stamp straight tape<\/h3>\n

Using stamp straight tape<\/a> is a really quick, easy way to line up your stamping designs. For example, if you\u2019re stamping a person\u2019s name on your metal, simply use a stretch of tape across your metal and it will keep each letter nice and straight.<\/p>\n

That way, you don\u2019t need to worry about accidentally slipping or leaning at an angle, resulting in a slanted design on your piece.<\/p>\n

2. ImpressArt bracelet bending bar<\/h3>\n

A bracelet bending bar is a simple tool that allows you to bend metal strips easily with no fuss, into a bracelet shape. It can be used for bending metal strips up to a maximum of 1 1\/2″ wide (3.81cm), and is also available in a kit containing\u00a0aluminium cuff bangle blanks.<\/p>\n

\"bracelet<\/p>\n

To use, simply place your metal strip onto the curved end of the bending bar, and twist your metal strip over the curved edge a little further than 90 degrees. Repeat this until you have your ideal bracelet shape. You can then use a set of jewellery making pliers<\/a> to perfect your bracelet.<\/p>\n

3. ImpressArt strike jig<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re new to metal stamping, you might be nervous about using quite a weighty jewellery hammer, in case you accidentally flinch and slip in the process and hit your fingers. Sound familiar? Not only is this dangerous, but it will cause uneven impressions. Instead, use a strike jig<\/a>. You\u2019ll find them in a range of sizes, including 3, 4, 6 and 9.5mm.<\/p>\n

\"strike<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to line it up, slide your stamp into it and grip it securely with your fingers. Then, you can use your jewellery hammer to make your impression safely.<\/p>\n

4. Stamping ink<\/h3>\n

When you create your impressions on your piece of metal, you\u2019ll want to be able to clearly see your design as an end result. ImpressArt enamel ink<\/a> allows you to do exactly this. You might have used a Sharpie pen to do this previously, but this only works on certain types of metals.<\/p>\n

\"stamping<\/p>\n

And, as you progress, you\u2019re likely to want to experience with different colours<\/a>, just as other jewellery makers do.<\/p>\n

5. ImpressArt metal stamping kit<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re a newbie to metal stamping and you\u2019re not sure how to hand stamp jewellery, the ImpressArt metal stamping kit could be your first steps to becoming an expert.<\/p>\n
