{Made By Me Monday}
NapTime Crafters featured me a couple of weeks ago, but I just realized that I never posted the full tutorial here on Sassy Sites. So, I decided this would be today's
"made by me"
... and my friend Rebecca!
________________________
My friend had on the CUTEST necklace the other day at church. When I asked her where she bought it, she said what I was hoping she'd say "I made it!" YAY!! I was so excited to make one. She graciously offered to come over the other day and we busted one of these fabulous hand-stamped necklaces in less than 30 minutes. They are super cute and really easy to do! And the best part about is, they hardly cost anything to make! I am going to share a step by step tutorial with you today to show you just how easy these are.

and a friend! :)
and a friend! :)
step 1:
Hammer down your spoon to desired flatness.We figured out that the super cheap spoons are easier to get flat. These were found at Goodwill! :)
step 2:
Bend the handle of the spoon back and forth until it breaks off. Make sure to leave enough room to make a loop for your necklace to fit in.
step 3:
Sand the end of the broken handle to give it a smooth edge.
step 4:
Decide what you want to spell on your spoon, we love L-O-V-E. Then, take your sharpie and mark where you want your letters to go.
step 5:
Pound down your letters using your stamping kit, starting with the middle letter. This ensures that your letters will be lined up correctly.
step 6:
Take your sharpie and trace over each letter.
step 7:
Buff off access sharpie with steel wool, leaving the insides of the letters black. Then, bend your handle with the pliers, to make a loop for the chain.
step 8:
Make some extra little beads to go next to your spoon. These were easy to make, just using beads and charms.
step 9:
String everything onto your chain!
and VIOLA!!
