Stubby Village stamps

Stamp and emboss Merry Christmas

with gold embossing powder.

Make 3 of these for every image,

to make the side and back panels.

Using 20 guage wire,

wrap it tightly around a pen or dowel

that is the size you want.

My embossing tool handle was

handy and just the right size.

When you remove wire,

it will look like a spring.

With a wire cutter, snip at the top of your spring

and perfect jump rings will be the result.

Remember to always open the jump rings

from the side, never pull them open,

as the wire will stretch.
