What can I do with these ImpressArt punches?
With this kit, you can personalize your creations by adding names, important dates or meaningful messages on various media. For example, consider creating a bracelet with a loved one's first name, or an engraved medal to give on special occasions. Punches can also be used to decorate pendants, sequins or medallions. Using a tapping block and hammer, you'll achieve precise, professional marking.
How to use them
- Place your medal on the pile (the tapping block).
- Determine where you want to engrave. Use the adhesive tape to "fix" your medal, but also to guide you when punching.
- Place your decorative punch vertically, then tap it with a hammer. A sharp, clean blow is all it takes to mark your metal.
- Finish your engraving by applying acrylic ink to blacken your motif. Remove excess ink with a soft cloth.
This metal engraving technique does require a little practice, so we recommend that you practice on a support before you start.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, there are resources available to guide you through the use of these punches. Detailed tutorials and data sheets will help you master the basics of stamping, choose the right supports and use the right tools for your projects. You'll be able to produce unique creations with confidence.
Please note that the punches are lightly coated with oil to prevent rusting.
