Thanks for the video. Love that you state there is a difference between silver and gray.... For those who don't want to sand the line off, you can use masking tape.

exactly what i was looking for!!! thank you!

Thats so cool! You definitely know your stuff. Thanks for making the video, you did a great job!

Great Tutorial!

How long did it take to smash it flat, it tried for ten minutes and barely dent made

use a sand bag under the spoon it will retain the shape mostly and still support enough, not as crisp indentations though

Thanks for the tutorial - I've been wanting to try this for ages! Now you've given me an idea as to how to go about it. I strained my eyes to see what size your stamps were but I couldn't make it out? How big should the lettering be for spoons? (I thought yours was a 3 or 5 mm)?? Thanks again :)

Do you hurt your fingers a lot? My fiancee wants to give these out as party favors for our wedding guests (170) with our monogramed initials. Is she crazy? Will it take forever to make that many in two months time? She wants to help, will she hurt her fingers? Thanks!

You should come back and redo your sound You can barely hear you, would be a great video if it were

Thank you.

I understand now that silver plate cutlery is better, but it's also more expensive & harder to find. The stainless I get is just from the op shop at 10 cents a piece :-), but I don't think they'd be real keen on me testing it out by bending it! hehehe So have your stamps gone blunt? I wasn't game to try my letter stamps after the hibiscus was ruined, so perhaps it's more the design stamps. I've done a bit of research & most say any economy stamps or ImpressArt stamps won't handle stainless.

Just put it on a carved wood shape of the spoon instead of a flat surphace.

Sound went away.. :(

Do you know how to stamp spoons without flattening the spoon out? I have seen beautiful stamped silverware on etsy, and have wanted to create some for myself. But all the tutorials I find shows jewelry or flattened spoons.

Hi Michelle, What brand stamps do you use? I used some & they barely left an imprint and were then worn & wouldn't leave an impression on other metal. Only stamped them a couple of times & ruined my brand new hibiscus stamp :-(

Where did you get your anvil?

I tried this but I seem to have ran into a unique problem. My Spoons to Big.

Would a grease pencil work to draw your line with?
