To make these ornaments, I followed the directions from the link above but made a few changes.
Supplies Needed:
~Washers – I got mine at Lowes.
~Stamp Kit – Mine was purchased at Harbor Freight over the summer
~Hammer
~Sharpie
~Baby Wipe
~Strong glue – I used E600. The directions in the link above don’t include glue. They let the ribbon hold the ornaments together, but doing that hid some of my stamping, so I glued the two washers together exactly where I wanted them.
~Ribbon
Start by stamping the washers. I sat on the basement floor and pounded away. Be sure to buy a few extra washer because you are bound to have a few failed attempts.
One washer at a time, go over the stamping with a black Sharpie. Immediately wipe clean with a baby wipe. The marker will make your stamped letters pop.
Next glue the washers together.
After the glue dries, tie on the ribbon and you’re done.
This is a quick and easy gift that I think my friends will really like!

ReplyDeleteYes, very clever! I have a washer packet on my desk as I type. I bought it with the intention of making decoupage necklaces. Now, that I see your idea, I may have to make a trip to HF and see if they have a stamp set.

I love the kitchen- so fresh and light!
ReplyDeleteThis would be the perfect gift to send my family in Norway. I have long wanted to buy those stamps but I just haven't found the money to do so, but if I make this as Christmasgifts for my family they would pay themselves in what I would save in postage to Norway.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea.
