I'm Margo Potter and this is making with Madge and today we're gonna get hammered that's right we're gonna use this brass hammer a steel bench block and some metal stamps to make it absolutely fabulous stamp metal cup alright let's get started tape your blank down the finish block mark the center point with the ruler and you can write the text on there as a guideline now you're gonna start stamping you want to rock the stamp onto the bracelet underneath your letters and give it one good hit and you're gonna repeat this process moving along if you want you can start the center and stamp edge to edge that helps you make sure that the words are actually centered on the blank it's one good hit this is aluminum it's very soft it's easy to strike okay so we're gonna make a first half of our sentence which is B the rising tide and now we're gonna stay at the bottom here in this case I started the center so I can show you how that works and you're just gonna stamp your way left and right just like so super simple go ahead and stamp your design Sam and next we're going to bend the bracelet insert one end of the bracelet into the bracelet enter tool hold it firmly with your thumb and bend it around into a curve just like that now repeat the process for the other side the cuff is probably gonna be a little bit too wide once you're finished doing this so you're gonna make adjustments with your fingers but be careful not to bend it too much in the center you don't want to end up with a line of demarcation or a fold in the center there you go fabulous now we're gonna ink it up I use folk art acrylic enamel paint and licorice and I just smear it off with maybe your tip just like that and then wipe it off with a soft cloth or a paper towel or my case toilet tissue and you rocked it that's it folks fun fast and fabulous
