Instruction
1
Prepare the necessary tools for the job. Fabricate set of dies (punches). To do this, take a steel or aluminum rods and carved with needle files, simple patterns, letters, numbers. Cut the patterns needed in the form of a mirror. Gears of mechanical watches from the manufacture of knurling that provide wide line. Pipes of different diameter with sharpened edges suitable for punching holes.
2
To perform a blind-stamped embossing take a punch with the desired pattern and heat it on open fire until about 140оС. The temperature is easier to pick up empirically: heat the punch and test it on the test print.
3
The heated part of the stamp firmly press to the skin surface and hit the top with a hammer. If relief came not very deep, it should be heat stamped stronger. If the skin podelilas, shorten the heating time of the instrument. Finding the optimal temperature of heating the stamp, proceed to apply the pattern on the working material.
4
To complete the colorful stamping prepare a special multi-colored foil. Suitable thin foil from candy wrappers or tea. Melt in a tin wax or paraffin. Add the wax a little turpentine so that the material does not freeze, stir well.
