What you need:

• (1) can of Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Paint, Dover White Gloss
• Brass Key Tags, 1.5"
• Norton Sanding Bug
• Newspaper or covering to protect surface
• Clear number stamps and mounting block
• StazOn Solvent Ink Pad, black
• Emboss Powder, clear
• Electric Griddle (I suppose you could try this on a flat pan on the stove over low heat, BUT I have not tried it)
• Old spatula or knife
• Sheet of plain paper

How and How Long:

1. Scuff one side of the brass key tag with the Norton Sanding Bug (or sand paper) - Prepare more tags than you will need just in case of mistakes.
2. Wipe clean
3. Protect your surface and prepare to spray paint. Layout the tags so that they are not touching.
4. Using long smooth strokes, use the Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Dover White to paint the tags. I did multiple coats of paint. Let dry completely.
5. Using the clear stamps, clear mounting block and StazOn Solvent Ink in black, begin stamping the number on your tags. I centered the single numbers and eyeballed where the numbers should go for the 2-digit ones. For the 2-digit numbers, I would stamp the first number and let it dry before stamping the second.
6. Let the ink dry.
7. Prepare your electric griddle by placing parchment paper on the surface to protect it. Preheat to 350 F.
8. Place 3 tags on griddle and let them heat up for about 20 seconds. I did 3 tags at a time - that seemed to be what I could manage without getting behind.
9. Remove from griddle and sprinkle embossing powder all over the tag - do this liberally. Let the powder just start to melt.
10. Use the knife or spatula to CAREFULLY lift tag up. Shake off excess powder and replace on the griddle (on top of the parchment). The powder begins to melt almost immediately. Once melted removed from the griddle and place on parchment paper to let dry.
11. Continue until finished.
