Welcome back, my friends!
This is just a really quick video that shows how hand-stamping is done.
In this video, I am hand-stamping an aluminum cuff bracelet.
If you prefer detailed instructions, I have also written a step-by-step tutorial for you in this blog post. Happy crafting!

DIY HAND-STAMPED CUFF BRACELETS: A QUICK OVERVIEW
Step 1 of 6
Firstly, prepare your work station with items from the Materials and Tool list.
Take one aluminum bracelet blank and place it on your base metal plate (fig. 1a, 1b).
Remember to remove the protective film on your bracelet blank if there is any.
Then, place a ruler on top of your aluminum bracelet blank (fig. 1c).
Step 2 of 6
Secondly, use a marker to draw a straight baseline for your stamping (fig. 2a, 2b).
Also, mark the midpoint of your aluminum bracelet blank (fig. 2c, 2d).
Step 3 of 6
Next, write the phrase “Beautiful CHAOS” on a piece of draft paper (fig. 3a).
Then, count the total characters which include spacing, and mark the midpoint.
For this project, the midpoint is the letter “u”.
So, take the letter “u” stamp and place it on the midpoint of your bracelet blank (fig. 3b, 3c).
Then, use a hammer to stamp it down on your bracelet blank (fig. 3d, 3e).
