So you want to try metal stamping, but you don't want to spend a bunch of money. And you don't want to start out with the same old necklaces that everyone else is making. What do you need? Where do you start? What do you buy? How can you save some dough?
In today's video, I'll take you supply shopping for all of the tools you'll need to get started. By the end of our shopping trip, you'll be able to join me in making an adjustable cuff bracelet! (Step--by-step tutorial in the next video!) For under $40, you get to try out a new hobby, and see if it's for you!
Below are affiliated links to the tools used in the video. These are the same tools as I show you in the video, but from Amazon.com (in case you can't get to the stores in the video.) However, other than the bracelet bending pliers, you will pay much less by purchasing from the stores I mention.
Links for other items used, and basically everything I use that I can think of below! (I make a teeny commission if you purchase items using these links) -
