Easy Embossing Soda Can Labels
I happen to love the look of embossed metal, especially with letters, and I actually have a nice embossing set not, but I made these before I had the set, and I wouldn't hesitate to make these for other applications in the future. These labels are made with a soda can and I was able to make them pretty darn fast!
Soda Can DIY metal embossed labels
I mounted mine on wood with hot glue, but basically, I used:
- Soda can
- Scissors
- Sharpie marker
- ball point pen
- black stamping ink
- wooden cooking plank
Soda Can DIY metal embossed labels
I mounted mine on wood with hot glue, but basically, I used:
- Soda can
- Scissors
- Sharpie marker
- ball point pen
- black stamping ink
- wooden cooking plank
I CAREFULLY cut the soda can. Wrote a word backwards with a Sharpie marker, and then traced the letter with a ball point pen.
Flipped it over and dabbed with the black stamping ink.
I also sawed down the wood plank to make small wood pieces, drilled a hole, and stained.
I trimmed the soda can metal down, and hot glued to the wood piece. Done.

Lovely. I also cut open tomato purée tubes, which usually gives you a gold colour inside.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How did you make the letters look embossed or raised up?
Did you free hand the letters yourself
With the sharpie?
Using the ball point pen were you applying pressure to the metal? If so, did it affect the ball point ( pushing the ball up into the ink tube) ? I love this! I've not seen hand made embossing before.🙋🏻♀️
