Tin Necklaces

Not only have I been mak­ing cuff style bracelets but I’ve also been mak­ing some cute sim­ply stat­ed 24″ neck­laces. This neck­lace is what I call a dressed up ver­sion of a dog tag. Since I like my items to have a dis­tressed feel before stamp­ing my word I gave the met­al tag sev­er­al whacks with my brass ham­mer. Once I the sil­ver met­al tag was banged up a bit I met­al stamped the word smile onto the sil­ver met­al tag using what is now my favorite let­ter stamp set 3mm Newsprint low­er­case by Impres­sArt.  I applied some Mus­tard Seed Dis­tress Paint with my fin­ger into the stamped let­ters then instant­ly wiped away the excess with a paper tow­el. Next I wire wrapped some beads to cre­ate a charm and BAM just like that I was done. I think this will look too cute worn with a boho chic or casu­al sum­mer out­fit. This neck­lace is avail­able for pur­chase in my Etsy Shop,  it’s $14.95 + $5.80 flat rate ship­ping.

NOTE: once Dis­tress Paint dries it is on for good so you do not want to play around just apply and wipe off. 

This is anoth­er sim­ply stat­ed 24″ neck­lace. I cre­at­ed the heart accent then wire wrapped a clear vin­tage iri­des­cent bead which adorns the heart beau­ti­ful­ly. This too will look adorable worn with a boho chic or casu­al sum­mer out­fit. It too is avail­able for pur­chase, it’s $9.95 + $5.80 flat rate ship­ping.

If either of these tick­les your fan­cy and you wish to pur­chase one or both, vis­it my Etsy Shop I will com­bine pur­chas­es to save on ship­ping so feel free to email me at lisa@lisapace.com or send me a mes­sage via Etsy so I can cre­ate a Reserve list­ing.
