How to Make a Stamp Necklace

Adding a stamp to a necklace will show off your creative side.

Display an attractive stamp on a custom made necklace pendant. The backing for the pendant is formed by a small square wooden board game tile. The process used to apply is essentially decoupage, considering that a craft adhesive is placed over the paper stamp. Select a craft adhesive that will dry to a clear glossy finish as it will magnify the appearance of the stamp's art. The backing on the stamp is left on as it adds stability to the paper, keeping it from wrinkling during the adhesion process.

Things You'll Need

• Paintbrushes
• Craft glue
• Stamp, with backing
• Square wooden game tile
• Craft sealant, clear drying
• Jewelry bail
• Necklace chain, with clasp

Instructions

1. Use a clean paintbrush to apply a thin layer of craft glue evenly to the backing of the stamp. Turn the small wooden game tile so that the side with no indentations or engravings is pointing up. Press the glued side of the stamp carefully onto the tile.

2. Position the stamp quickly, lining it up with the edges of the tile. Note that if the stamp is a bit smaller than the tile, it's okay to leave a border of the tile showing around it, if the border is even.

3. Use a clean paintbrush to apply a layer of clear glossy craft adhesive over the stamp. Work quickly but carefully, forming an even layer with the product. Allow the adhesive to dry overnight.

4. Apply glue to the flat part of the jewelry bail. Position the bail on the upper rear of the tile and make sure that it's centered. Allow the glue to dry for one to two hours. Slide the finished pendant onto a necklace chain with a clasp.
