I'd suggest stamping the letters first and then doing the hammered finish. It'll be easiest to achieve deep and even lettering when the metal is flat and untextured.
We don't have any tutorials on how to get that style unfortunately. The wires we carry are a little too thin for that look, and to get it really solid you'd probably want to temper the wire with heat treatments so it's a bit more advanced than the metal working we specialize in.
We used to have a kit like that from another company. Definitely recommend labeling each stamp with a bit of tape and a pen, it helps speed work up even more than you'd think.
Great tutorial, especially wanted to know how the bending tool works. I have a whole list of the Impressart items & wish I could buy them all. Sadly the price point for every piece is way more than my budget. Frustrating to say the least. Thank you for sharing your tips, much appreciated!
Regrettably, we do not have this bangle in a smaller size. The blanks are 14 gauge in thickness, so you would need cutters that could cut up to 14 gauge material. Thank you.
Beadaholique Do you have any recommendations that I can use to make a bangle size for girls age 2 to 5? I have never made a bangle..thank you in advance..
Yeah we sure do, here's a look at the ImpressArt kits we carry, looks like we've got 4 or 5 styles of uppercase lettering in stock: beadaholique.com/collections/Impressart?sort=best-selling&_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3AMetal%20Punch%20Set
is annealing necessary? I'm a beginner and am using somewhat thicker bracelets. I saw something recently I'm supposed to heat it up first to make it easier to stamp. i don't have any tools for that process and honestly wanted to avoid it. Well maybe the bigger question is I'm getting confused which gauge to buy (making bracelets primarily). I'm using copper, aluminum, maybe others down the line. I'm currently using 14 gauge and it is rather difficult to stamp than other blanks I've used. Is thicker gauge necessarily more long-lasting? I mean, it's metal after all.
With blanks like the ones on our website, we do not feel heating is necessary. The particular blanks in the video are made of aluminum, which is easy to stamp. These blanks are actually 14 gauge, but stamping thinner blanks is usually easier. Most of our pendant blanks are 24 gauge for example. Thicker gauges do not necessarily mean the metal will last longer, but they are less malleable than thinner gauges. Thanks for watching!
Regrettably, these bracelet stamping pieces have been discontinued, but we have other styles available here: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=bracelet+stamping Thanks for watching!

hi, if you were to add a hammered finish would you do the hammered finish first or after the stamped letters? many thanks lovey video

Do you guys have a tutorial of how to make a Pandora open bangle bracelet

@@beadaholique can you please make a tutorial showing how to make a open bangle bracelet pandora inspired please?
Great!!! I'm awaiting my package
Thank you!!
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
This is Soo cool
My letters are not marked on the side. It is hard to know which letter you are using and if it is going in the right direction.

How to buy this from Bangladesh ?
Thank you for sharing, is there a toddler bracelet blank available for kids? Or can we.cut the bracelet blanks?
Regrettably, we do not have this bangle in a smaller size. The blanks are 14 gauge in thickness, so you would need cutters that could cut up to 14 gauge material. Thank you.

@@tinadenny8450 Regrettably, we do not have additional recommendations.
The aluminium included in the kit was a little rough 😞
Thank you for letting us know, we will pass along the feedback to the manufacturer
I wish their bracelet blanks came in longer lengths.
I know I wish they did too. If they ever do make anything longer we'd love to carry them, so we'll keep an eye out.
Do you have capital letters as well
Yeah we sure do, here's a look at the ImpressArt kits we carry, looks like we've got 4 or 5 styles of uppercase lettering in stock: beadaholique.com/collections/Impressart?sort=best-selling&_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3AMetal%20Punch%20Set
If someone wrist size is 7 inches how long would you cut piece of metal ?
To make an open cuff in this style, we recommend a 6 inch cuff. Thanks so much!
Beadaholique thank you so much
6" blank too small for a 7" wrist bracelet. I've tried it. Doesn't work. Uncomfortable. I wish they'd make longer blanks.
