One of the items that makes hand made jewelery look professional is the addition of an artisan’s tag. In my case, my initials are my calling card.
The new Metal Complex line at John Bead is perfect for crafting your own metal tags. I used an alphabet metal stamp set, a chasing hammer, a bench block and a package of 24 gauge round brass metal blank to complete my project. The blanks already have holes too!
One good solid tap with the chasing hammer to the alphabet punch is all you need to add each letter.
Now my brooch has my tag attached!
These tags are available in three colours: brass, copper and German silver.
As well as in a variety of shapes : Ovals , Rounds and Hearts !
