Useing a pencil and a ruler, draw a horizontal ine about 1/3 away from the bottom.
Take a letter stamp and aline it with the line making sure that the letter is not on its side or upsidedown o the tag.
Hold the Stamp carefully in place and then use the hammer to hit the top of the stamp 10-15 times. You have to hit it pretty hard in order to make a good imprint, but don't hit it as hard as you can or else you get a wierd dent around your letter
Take the stamp for the next letter and aline it next to your previous etter. Have the stamp slightly overlap your previous letter, or else the spaceing will turn out to far.
When you are done it should turn out something like this, but my second N is a perfect example of what happens if you hammer your metal stamp too hard.
Take 3 different necklace chains and cut them to be about 20 inches long. The attach one end of each one to a hoop.
Braid the 3 chains together, but every once in a while loop the braided segmet around your neck to see if it is the length that you want.
Onceyou have braided as much as you want find the spot where all 3 chains meet and attach all 3 chains at that point to a hoop, cut off any remaining chain, and then attach a lobster clasp to the hoop.
Take the tag that you stamped and attach a loop to the hole at the top, then fold the necklace in half to find the middle, and attach the hoop on the tag to the middle.
