Step 2 Set the round component on the bench block. Using the Ergo-Angle stamping hammer and the design stamp from the Series 2 Mandala Design Stamp Pack, stamp four even points into the charm (see Metal Stamping Technique).
Step 3 In the same manner as in the previous step, use the second design stamp so it fits in between the design stamp impressions from step 2.
