If you read here regularly, you already know my love for hand-stamped jewelry. It’s such a fun way to personalize pieces! I’ve written a beginner’s jewelry stamping tutorial and shared several stamped projects, but it has been quite a while since I really talked technique, or showed you any new products. That’s kind of the best part about stamping – once you make your initial investment and practice your stamping, you don’t need to keep buying new things. (Until you fall in love with a new font, I mean. Haha.) But there are lots of other things than can be stamped, besides just jewelry. Today I want to show you how to make stamped spoons! They make for a sweet handmade Valentine’s Day gift when you add romantic messages! It’s tough to find handmade gift ideas for men, but this is a great idea to go with his morning coffee. :)
Now, you can’t use your regular stamps on everything. Maybe you’ve tried already – but you just can’t stamp on stainless steel with a standard stamp set. Which is kind of a bummer, because if you want to stamp spoons, in the past you needed to buy actual silver spoons to have that softer metal to work with to use your standard stamps, which are NOT cheap. ImpressArt just rolled out a premium stamp alphabet set, designed specifically for stamping hard metals like stainless steel. I am seriously excited to see this!
I work with ImpressArt from time to time, and they sent me this set to try the new premium stamps for myself and show you how they work! And bonus – they’re giving a set away to one of my readers today too! Read on for the tutorial, and be sure to check out the bottom of the post to enter the giveaway by February 9, 2014! Note: The giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered!
First, I want to give you the how-to. These are the average spoons you will find in any store that sells kitchenware. And instead of spending $20, or $30, or $40 on an antique silver spoon to find a soft enough metal to use with normal metal stamps – I picked up this 6-pack of spoons for $5.99 to practice on. It only takes a couple of stamped spoons for the premium stamps to pay for themselves, now that you can stamp on stainless steel. (If you’d like to read more about what the premium metal stamps can do, be sure to check them out at the ImpressArt site.)
If you are brand-spanking-new at metal stamping, I have a much more detailed jewelry stamping tutorial you should probably check out first. Once you’ve got the basics down, I’m going to give you some tips specific to stamping spoons for today’s project.
What you will need:
- Premium Metal Stamps. ImpressArt sells this 3mm set in the Newsprint font. This set is specifically designed for use on stainless steel, and carries a lifetime guarantee.
- Spoons
- Your bench block and hammer
- Masking tape
- Optionally: A permanent non-toxic marker. There’s some debate about exactly what sorts of chemicals can be present in markers and still be called “non-toxic”. I am comfortable with using a marker to darken my letters because these spoons are intended to be for occasional use only, and primarily decorative. If the thought of using marker makes you uncomfortable, you can certainly skip it and leave your stamping as it is.
A few things to note. Stainless steel is hard – harder than aluminum, silver, copper, pewter, brass – all the normal mediums you may be used to working with. So while the stamps can hold up to steel pretty impressively, you may need a little harder strike than for other metals. Combine that with the fact that spoons are not flat… I would not recommend steel spoons for your *very first* project. Fortunately the premium stamps can be used on any type of metal, so if you choose some basic blanks to practice on first, you will have the opportunity to get more comfortable and you can work up to spoons in very little time. I was not good at stamping the first few tries, but I learned a lot along the way that I’m happy to share with you. But in total transparency – do NOT expect the first time you stamp to produce a flawless spoon.
See, when I first started stamping a few years ago, my main worry was missing the stamp and hitting my hand, haha – so it took a few tries to reassure myself that I wasn’t about to crush my left hand with my hammer. (Hey – stranger craft injuries have happened!) One thing that goes a long way toward control is ImpressArt’s specifically designed stamping hammer – the shorter handle makes your aim much more precise. You may certainly use your regular 16 oz. hammer if you’re just getting started and aren’t sure how much you want to invest yet, but I LOVE my stamping hammer and I really recommend it.
Now. Jumping ahead to when you’re all practiced up and ready to rock some spoons. You’re still going to plan out where to stamp, just the same as on a flat piece. I like to mark off a straight line with my masking tape, and note for myself exactly where I want to stamp my letters. You can still use the feel of the edge of your tape to get a straight line.
Different jewelry designers have their own preferred technique, like starting in the center and working outward for even spacing, but I find that my spacing is fine – it’s my vertical alignment I focus most on. So I stamp according to where I’ve marked each letter, and stamp all the letters without descenders first (g, j, p, q, y) by lining them up on the tape. Then, I go back for any letters I skipped over, I run a new piece of tape along the tops of the letters, and use that to line up descending letters.
Now, let me address: what’s with all the tape? You will get your best impressions wherever your spoon is in direct contact with your bench block. So you will need to rotate your spoon around as you stamp so that the portion you are stamping on is the spot where it rests on your block. Later on, with more practice, I might be able to position my spoon, hold my stamp straight AND get a good strike, but this is my first time working on spoons. So I used lots of tape to hold my spoon and I just focused on stamping. :) I also found that the farther I got from the center, the more likely I was to make a mistake: my very first spoon is below. Check out the “s” – my alignment was a little off. But once I knew how it worked, my next spoons went much better!
Finally, I darkened my stamping. I mentioned before, it’s not absolutely necessary. But it does make your message stand out better. I will leave this up to you – but I used a permanent marker (non-toxic, remember), to darken all the way into each of the grooves. Then, using a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a paper towel, I wiped off the excess. Don’t get too much, or you’ll wipe it out of the grooves too – you can always use a polishing cloth to get any last little tiny spots.
Awesome, right? I loved how it turned out so much, I made up a few more!
You can try your hand at stamped spoons for yourself by checking out ImpressArt’s Premium stamps – or, if you are the winner of this great giveaway! Note: The giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered!
I want to thank ImpressArt for sponsoring this giveaway, I love having the chance to offer this great set to a lucky reader! Rafflecopter will walk you through how to enter below. The giveaway is open through February 9, 2014 to my US friends (void where prohibited) and the winner will have their choice of either a lowercase or uppercase stamp kit (both are pictured above to show you your options, but please note that you’ll only get one). Good luck – you guys are going to LOVE THESE STAMPS!
Ok… so, call me a little “behind the times”, but I am just now getting into metal stamping! I want to thank you for your information regarding the differences in the stamps themselves! I have been getting so frustrated trying to figure out why I couldn’t seem to get an impression on my spoons! UGH! BUT… I found your site and I’m now going to order the Premium stamps to try! I really hope these work! Thanks for your insights and “how-to”!
Does metal stamping make things rust faster?
What a fun little project you have here! I think it would be really fun to have stamped spoons. They look really cute with the little sayings on each one. I think it would be fun if we got some sort of metal stamp for the whole spoon. I would like to have custom made spoons that were for measuring or had our family name on them.
Thank you I have really enjoyed reading and learning from the tutorials. I am desperately researching as much as I am able on metal stamping before I begin approaching doing it.
Where can I buy these spoons already stamped for valentine’s day?? Can someone make them for me if I cannot buy them somewhere?
Check Etsy, there should be quite a few options there.
Hello to every one, the contents present at this web site are actually amazing for people knowledge, well,
keep up the good work fellows.
Love to stamp!!!
I really love heavy gauge brushed aluminum. It takes the stamp beautifully and doesn’t tarnish. I need more fonts!
I have tons of spoons….
I’m a beginner!!
If I could do it all I would. Love to make all sorts of different things. I think metal stamping would be the perfect edition to my arsenal of crafting.

This is such a great idea! I’d love to be a winner to try making some awesome art!
I’ve been looking into getting into this. I make handmade hemp jewelry and think some handstamped pieces would be a nice addition. I’m glad I found this blog and the giveaway!
I’d love to win! I can always use more stamps…and these look like a fun font. Thank you!
I make all kinds of handmade jewelry, but stamping is one I have yet to try. I would love to stamp some jewelry!
So glad I found this blog – lots of great information. Been stamping a while but can always learn more!
Definitely new to the stamping world! I’ve been eyeing some initial pendants online. Been shocked how much it costs, so I’ve held off, but now I see how I can make it myself! It is easy! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!
I’ve never stamped before but I keep seeing really cool projects that inspire me to try.
Great reviews on impressart would love to try them
Just bought a starter set for my daughters 11th birthday. Would love to expand on that!! We are both so excited to start metal stamping for family and friends.
I haven’t jewelry stamped before but would love to try it! I would love to make something for my grandmothers and mom for mother’s day!
I have some stainless steel blanks, and really need these stamps…great giveaway!
Thanks so much for the detailed tutorial, and the chance to win the giveaway.
I have done a little metal stamping, but would love to work on it more.

I’m new to hand stamping, this would be so fun.
I love making hand stamped jewellery and also used to stamp spoons forks etc as well but I found my stamps getting blunt, my dream is to own a impress art set.
I’ve been stamping for about 8 months now. Really enjoy it! Would like to have more fonts to choose from.
I’m a beginner and I like to stamp any metal thing I can dream up!
Love the details you provide on the process – I will have to give the tape a try!

I have been stamping for a few years. I love to make “Mommy” jewelry!
Adrianna, this was one of the best descriptions of a process I have ever read! Your details were spot on and showing the missteps is encouraging!! I have not yet made the leap into this cool process but have been seeing such beautiful projects and I know I’m going to get into this! Thank you so much for the inspiration! Love your work and your sense of humor!
Amazing, woweeeeeee would we…
We’d be stamping all over Town…
So stunning & a wonderful gift…
I haven’t tried it yet
Never stamped before. Would love to try it on spoons. Would be great as garden markers.
I’ve been hand stamping for 9 months, and this looks like a really interesting project to start, for adding new items to my shop. Thank you for such a detailed tutorial!
I just started stamping and it’s great to see other peoples take on spacing! I have wasted a few blanks, it’s hard since I kind of am a perfectionist. I have to remember this is “handmade” and won’t be perfect…BUT I want it as close to perfect…so thanks for the pointers. Stamps are expensive especially the good ones, so this would be a great gift to win. Thanks for the consideration!
Love these ImpressArt stamps. I have a couple sets that I use, but I didn’t realize it would take a special set to stamp stainless steel (good thing I haven’t tried it yet, I guess!).
Thank you for bringing more beauty into the world with this offer!??
I’ve been making jewelry by design for 4 years now and am expanding my product line by adding new fonts and styles. I’d love to learn new techniques for stamping.

I have never stamped metal, but have stamped leather (years ago). Always wanted to create with metal and love your idea of doing it with spoons. I’m thinking weddings, engagement parties, birthday parties and more. Love your tutorials. Thank you so much. This definitely goes into my list of favorite tutorials.

I have REALLY been wanting to learn how to stamp jewelry and metal pieces! I greatly appreciate all that you have shared here! It helps give me motivation that maybe I could do it!! Would LOVE to win the set to get started!! Thank you, again!
So cool! Have wanted to try this for a long time!
I have stamped many personalized bracelets using, copper, brass and nickel. I really don’t have a favorite metal…I LOVE them all!
Hi Just found your site via Home Talk – Love this tutorial – Thanks so much for the giveaway! This is a project I’ve been wanting to try for awhile
I’ve stamped aluminum with my cheapy set, so I would love to move up with this one. Thanks for the chance!
I’ve never jewelry stamped.
Thank you for the tutorial….I want to learn this!!
what a fantastic idea! I bought a basic stamp set before Christmas to play with, but I know I won’t be able to use them for the spoon project. I’d love a set of these, the projects could be endless :)
I have never done stamping but would love to learn, it looks like an interesting craft that could be used on many different things.
Very beginner, but want to do it very much! I am starting my own crafting business and would love to incorporate something like this into it!
I have never stamped spoons before, but I would love to learn!
This is very cool and creative, thanks for sharing how!
This is an awesome idea. I work with adults with developmental disabilities and I think this would make an awesome, unique, and age appropriate project. Thank you so much for the awesome idea and tutorial plus the chance to win the stamping kit!
Absolutely want a set like this. I would be a newbie, but I have been looking for a product like this for sometime. Thanks.
I want to stamp on tags for organizing my crafts and all of our baskets of winter gear up here in MN!
I am always drawn to stamped metal everything. After I ordered a necklace on Etsy, I thought, shoot, I could do this! Thanks for the great tips for us beginners – I will check back often!
I have never done metal stamping and would love to try it. I find $70 for a set of stamps pretty expensive for something to try. Is there anything less expensive that would work to try it out first?
Really want to start this craft! Found you on Hometalk!
I really love this idea and think I’ll make some love notes on my husbands coffee spoons.
I love this idea. I was just trying to figure out something for my husband for valentines and he would totally enjoy a love note on his coffee spoon more than something that would just sit and collect dust. Definitely need to try this.
Love your tutorial! If I already wasn’t stamping I would want to after reading your tips and tricks! WTG!
I am new to hand stamping. If I win, the spoons would b my first project.
So exciting to have a chance to win!
This has been on my wish list for awhile now. Your tutorial is great!
I found you on hometalk.
Thanks so much!
Deb
I’ve never done this before but would LOVE to. Keeping my fingers crossed that I win this stamping set!
I would love to have this. I am new to hand-stamping and this would be totally awesome for me. Please, please, Please!!!!!
I have not done this yet but have been wanting to stamp spoons and forks. Thanks for the tips!
I bought my first stamping set a few months ago and haven’t used it yet. You gave me the information and desire to give it a try. Thanks for the great information!!
I haven’t done any jewellery stamping yet…but i seems so fun and creative. Sadly,the supplies are hard to find and expensive here! :'( I wanna get started asap! haha
LOVE that it’s so much easier to stamp on stainless steel!
I am fascinated by hand stamped jewelry and would absolute love the chance to learn.
Metal stamping is a lot of fun! It is awesome that these sets can stamp on stainless steel. Can’t wait to try them out on spoons and other items. :-)
I’ve tried stamping spoons before, but the stamp set I have is no good, and I made a mess of things. I flattened them, stamped the other side, and put them in my garden as markers. I would love to have a nice set!
Great tutorial! Do you mind sharing where you purchased the spoons? (I like this finish.) I have ImpressArt stamps but not the premium for stainless steel. Love the possibilities! Thank you!
Francene, I picked them up at Meijer which is a Midwest superstore chain – I was on my weekly grocery run. But the brand is Cambridge, and they are just cheapies! 6 spoons for $5.99.
I have never stamped anything but would love to learn and give it a try.
LOVE this and would love to use this product for a non profit event :)
I haven’t stamped before but I would love to start!!! I have always loved the look of custom pieces that were hand stamped.
I can’t wait to try this!
The stamped spoons would be a wonderful addition to the company I work for – I’m hoping I can create some for our garden tea party!
I would love to do this with spoons I’ve never done it before!
I’ve been stamping for about a year now, it is so easy and I cannot wait to try making some stamped spoons as favors for my sister’s wedding!
I have never stamped on metal but have wanted to for years. Love the tutorial! Thank you!
I saw spoons like this on Etsy and thought they were neat. It’d be fun to create them myself.
I’ve never stamped anything like this before but I would love to! Your ideas are precious!
Im new at it but so interested and excited !
This Impress Art metal stamp kit changes the game!
AMAZING! What a great gift idea.
I have never tried metal stamping before but am eager to try it.
Stamped spoons would make an AWESOME addition to the glass etched mugs/coffee/Bailey’s we are using as the give aways at our wedding :)
Thanks for the opportunity!

Nice tutorial always wanted to learn how to do metal stamping. Thanks for the chance for a give away.
Love this tutorial. What a neat idea. Love all the necklaces and different ways you can stamp out messages. Too cute.
I just received stamping supplies for Christmas and I have really enjoyed making necklaces. It’s a spendy hobby but my necklace recipients have enjoyed their gifts :) I look forward to trying some spoons that I’ll use as garden markers!
Did silver spoons at Christmas, would love to try this set!
I dream of having a smithing studio. These are good to have on hand.
Haven’t tried hand stamping yet; but I enjoy seeing your projects and would love the opportunity to gather a few of my own supplies.
Thank you so much for sharing. It looks awesome. Would love to try it out myself:-))
I have never done the stamping thing, but I’ve always been interested in it. :)

I would love to learn how to stamp. I always see so many cool ideas & have been tempted to buy a set.
I have seen this and I want to try this so much!!! It would be so much fun and open the door to many, many projects! Thanks for your darling ideas! :D
I’ve been wanting to try metal stamping, but just haven’t yet. This would be a great opportunity to do it. Thanks
Just purchased some stamping supplies, haven’t even had the chance to use them yet but would so love to win some stamps! I want to make hand stamped jewelry! Love the spoon idea for teacher gifts too!
A spoonful of sugar would taste so much sweeter on a hand stamped spoon! <3
I have never done it, but I would love to stamp spoons and jewelry let´s say old medalions for necklaces and stuff.
Wow! Metal stamping – just one more thing I want to try. Your blog has opened up the world of crafts for me. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
I have bought a set of stamps, that I realize now ( after visiting ImpressArtists site) are not well made stamps. I want to try the stamping of spoons. After reading your tute I believe that I can do it. I can’t wait to see what projects you come up with.
I’ve always wanted to try stamping. Maybe I’ll try sometime soon!
I haven’t tried metal stamping yet but have wondered how to do it. Your tutorial is great as usual. I would certainly love to try Impress Art stamping.
I just received my kit as a Christmas present. I’m still learning. I cant remember having so much fun,,,,,
Would be great to be able to stamp on stainless steel spoons. So much easier to find in thrift shops!
Oh my goodness! This is amazing! I have wanted to start metal stamping jewelry for such a long time now, this would be a great way to help me start!!
would love to try this out…they are so cute to give as little gifts!
Would totally love to win and try this. The spoons looked great!!!
I want a set of these! Gets too expensive buying silver spoons.
I have just started stamping and am trying to grow my collection of fonts. I love ImpressArt’s selection! Would love to win this one!
I’ve been stamping for a little while now and use a mix of ImpressArt and others. Didn’t know about the premium set though, exciting! I’ve wanted to try spoons and such but didn’t want to put the money into expensive utensils. I mostly stamp on blanks but also like using smooth bezels to stamp on. Thanks for chance to win these…would be amazing!
I have read several tutorials about stamping jewelry, but haven’t been brave enough to try it. Really would like to though. I have seen so many pieces of jewelry that I love.
I’ve never tried jewelry stamping before, but I’d love to!
I have been metal stamping for a little while now. One of my first projects were the spoons. It was SO HARD! The stainless spoons are much cheaper, but are definitely a harder metal. I would LOVE to win a set of stamps that would make this type of project easier!
I would so love to win these. I’ve started trying to stamp a lot more and more items and these would be great to have.
I hope I win! If so, this will be my first stamping set.
I have been making jewelry for many years but I have never tried metal stamping. I would love to add this new skill to my repertoire. The stamped spoons are lovely and I have so many projects in mind! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
These are awesome! Looks like loads of fun ;D
Thanks for the giveaway!
Metal stamping is the new craft I want to learn this year!!! Wish me lucj!!!
I have tried a little stamping but haven’t gotten into it as much as I would like due to lack of time and resources. Love the blog and will be back!

Stamping is something I am really interested in trying.

I love stamping and this was a great tutorial I hope you choose me
I’m brand new to jewelry stamping, just received my first set of ImpressArt stamps at Christmas. :)
I actually have a full time business making hand stamped jewelry. It is a labor of l?ve, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. The best part….making things for people that have so much meaning. I use mostly stainless steel blanks, but I am slowly starting to venture into Gold filled. I have not used the new premium stamps from ImpressArt yet, but would love to add them to my collection, and possible make them my “Go To” stamps.
Thanks for the chance to win my first set. ;)
These are so cool! I would love to try these out!
I would love this great set!!!
I’ve metal stamped for the first time a couple months ago…loved it!!! We stamped on flattened spoons. So many ideas of things I want to do now!
Haven’t started yet, but looking forward to it. Hope I win to get a head start on supplies.
Great tips!!! Thanks so much for the chance to win this awesome giveaway!!!
I am new to stamping and have not seen someone stamp a surface that is not flat. What a great idea.
I have been interested is getting involved in metal stamping for a while, but with unpaid maternity leave right now and 2 kids, we just don’t have the money to invest in a new hobby for me right now. I love to stamp with rubber stamps and paper though!
I have not done the stamping yet, but want to start! Thanks for the chance to win and get going!
What an awesome project! I am a metal stamper and love ImpressArt’s stamps. I do not own any premium stamps and would LOVE to win! It would really take my stamping to the next level. Thanks for this opportunity!

I have seen the stamping tools in the store every time I go and haven’t had the courage to pick up a set to try.

I love all your projects and usually try them. I also love the stamps….you’re awesome!
The spoons look so cute love it!
I’ve never letter stamped, but I’ve used household tools to try out texture on some of my jewelry. Can’t wait to try letters, and these stamps sound fabulous!
This looks so fun! i never realized jewelry stamping was so easy. I thought it was some intense process that i’d never be able/afford to do. So cool!
Would love to get started in jewelry stamping!
