\"EmbossedVid #176:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>What a coincidence!<\/span><\/strong> <\/strong>I went to sleep last night thinking about stamping words and names into clay pendants.” ~Sue-W<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Would you like to make your own word stamp or signature stamp to use with your polymer clay projects? One way to do this is with the Sculpey MoldMaker<\/a> technique that I taught a few weeks ago in Video-029-3. However, with word images, you need to reverse them in your mold for them to “read” normally when you imprint the word image into your clay. That can get a bit tricky.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, you could order a custom rubber stamp or metal stamp made by a large manufacturer, but… it could cost you a fair amount of time and money.<\/span><\/p>\n

So in this weeks video tutorial lesson, I’ll show you how to do it the Polymer Clay Tutor<\/em> way. By making your own handmade embossed metal word stamps. They are quick and easy to make… and dirt cheap, since you probably already have the supplies at home!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy, what a coincidence! I went to sleep last night thinking about stamping words and names into clay pendants. I love anything with cursive writing on it and have found so many helpful hints on your site. Thanks for being so thorough in spreading your knowledge.<\/span> ~Sue-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d like to get a cursive writing stamp, any suggestions where I could get this? I don’t recall seeing anything in Michaels.<\/span> ~Cheryl-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Friday, October 22nd, 2010 at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-029-3), you will learn how to make your own Embossed Metal Stamps so you can put custom words and signatures on your polymer clay beads, pendants and other polymer clay projects… quickly, easily and inexpensively!<\/span><\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing. If you need help in these areas, my Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog.
