Lucky Penny Necklace

I'm so excited to share how to make a 
LUCKY Penny Necklace

Here is everything you will need.

Punch and Die Set with Doming Block

I got this one at Harbor Freight using their 20% off coupon for $28

A Letter Stamping Set

I splurged on a nice set from Beaducation $165

but I have also purchased a standard set at 

Harbor Freight or Home Depot for $4-$10

A Necklace and Jump Ring

I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby

Every other week they are half off so watch for the sales!

A Penny, Rubbing Alcohol, Sharpie, Pliers, Hammer and Drill.

 I marked each penny with a sharpie, placed it in a vise grip and drilled a hole with the hubby's drill press.

I used a 5/84 bit it will close a little when you dome the penny so any smaller and you might not be able to get your jump ring through the hole

 I always start with the center letter and work my way out.

Note: I only have a lower case set from Beaduction 

so I used my Home Depot upper case set for the letter L.

Use sharpie to fill in letters and wipe clean with rubbing alcohol.

Now you can stop here and make a necklace....or you can dome it.

 You can dome penny upside or downside.

Use the different pens for different shapes.

It's really fun to play around.....

Just a few hits with a hammer and you have a nice domed penny. 

You can also make earrings.

Use Pliers to attach the jump ring.
