1. To see how to make this project from start to finish, please watch the video: How to Metal Stamp a 3D Bar Pendant and Make a Necklace. In this video you'll see how to line up your letter punches vertically and hand stamp inspirational words on three sides of your pendant, and how to add enamel to your stamped words for contrast. You'll also see how to put the pendant on a necklace chain and make a small crystal charm (which you can personalize in any color of your choosing).
2. Enjoy your necklace!
