These are the backs of the ones above... that my kids gave to their teachers this year. I bought the metal stamp set at Harbor Freight (for very cheap)...then once I stamped what I wanted into the washer...I colored the letters in with a black permanent marker...then wiped off the excess by spraying some hairspray on a paper towel and wiping over entire washer till it comes off. Very fun!!

Instead of using the close clasp ends...I just tied a bead at one end, and made a loop at the other. Super Easy!! HaVe FuN!!

I just ordered me a stamp set from Harbor Freight too. I hope it comes tomorrow! I am making something very similar! Yours turned out VERY cute! That is a very clever gift!
ReplyDeletewhat size stamp set did you buy? I was just on harbor freight and they have 1/8" 1/4" and 3/8".
ReplyDeletethanks julie
I used the 36 Pc. 1/8" size for these.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these are just so stinkin' adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I found your blog through Design Dazzle. It's gorgeous here!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are wonderful! I like your creative clasp alternative, too. I cannot wait to try these with our youth group girls...they will LOVE making them!! Thank you so much for sharing the idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great!!! Did you do a "how-to" somewhere else on your blog? I'd love to make one.
ReplyDeleteAhahaha, never mind! I guess all I needed to do was scroll down for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out so cute! When I first found out how to make them,I couldn't stop! They are addicting to make! I gave them as gifts!

Hi there! I found your blog through another crafting blog...as so often happens in this blogging world. Love your ideas, thanks for providing a one stop space for inventive cute ideas. I try to get a bit crafty too over at my shop! www.shopbym.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Like this! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, You don't know me but I wanted to let you know I'm posting a link to your blog on my blog! I love the washer necklaces. (I found your blog through someone on Mormonchic).
ReplyDeleteHelp?! having trouble getting my metal stamps to leave an impression...did you use a bench block underneath? maybe the washers I bought are too heavy duty for the stamps to work well?
ReplyDeleteHi Michellie-mom!
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't use a bench block...but maybe that might have worked better. I just had to hit mine hard a couple of times before it made an impression. Even then...sometimes it didn't make a perfect one...but when you draw over the top with a sharpie...it might help make the impression stand out a bit more. I hope this helped a little. :) Good Luck!
This is such a super idea with the stamp on the back! I just looked up the stamp set, how do you make the letter, does it come with a tool? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteDid you make copies of the paper first or just use the scrapbook paper. I just saw these when I found this great site. Good job. So just had that question. Also, might as well ask if you let them dry for 24 or 48 hours and what kind of glue did you put the paper on the washer with. Some place I read they used a glue stick. Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous...I just used the scrapbook paper I had on hand. I use E6000 glue ( I bought @ Walmart) to glue the paper on the washer. I think it would be better to wait 24hours... till it is dry...but I didn't...I am too impatient :) and mine seemed to work out just fine. I did find out however...that the thicker your scrapbook paper...the better... because the glue is less likely to soak through the paper. Hope this helps :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Thanks so much for posting the tutorial ~ I'm going to have to make some of these for gifts! I can't wait to get to town and buy the stuff for them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!! Thanks for linking up. I love the thank you ones and using the bead for the closure.
ReplyDeleteA perfect and great work. I just used the scrapbook paper I had on hand. Also cover that thread with colourful gift papers. and also written unique friend quotations and gifted to my all sisters.
