There's arguably no bigger trend in jewellery right now than all personalized everything. From monogram madness to delicate chains and plates adorned with cheeky sayings or quotes, stamped accessories have quickly taken Etsy by storm and have been spotted on celebs like Lucy Hale and Jessica Alba. They also happen to be super simple to make at home using letter stamps and other materials easily found in sets of multiples at craft stores. In just minutes you can create completely one-of-a-kind bracelets etched with a name, date, inside joke or go-to motto, making them the perfect memento to gift at a bachelorette or birthday — or a sweet little treat just for you.

- Metal bracelet bars (available at craft stores)
- Steel block for stamping metal jewellery (available at craft stores)
