00:00Alright, so you're looking to get into metal embossing and you need a soft copper sheet that's actually malleable enough
00:05to work with, but you don't want to get ripped off.
00:08I've been digging through the listings, comparing prices and reviews, and I've found the 5 best deals for malleable, soft
00:14copper sheets and tools for metal embossing.
00:17Let's get into it.
00:19First up, if you want a serious chunk of copper to work with, check out this customized metal sheet.
00:25This thing is 300x300mm, and you can choose between 1.5 or 2mm thickness, which is way thicker than your
00:32standard foil.
00:34It's perfect for larger relief work where you need the metal to really hold its shape.
00:39It's priced at $72.20, which sounds like a lot, but for a solid block of pure soft copper this
00:45size, it's actually a really fair price.
00:48With over 4,000 sold and a 4.7 rating, you know it's the real deal for heavy-duty embossing.
00:54Now, for the detail work, you've got to grab some of this eco-friendly adhesive-backed copper foil.
01:00This is your go-to for tooling fine lines and intricate patterns.
01:05It's pure soft copper, so it moves beautifully under a stylus, and the adhesive backing means you can stick it
01:10straight onto a backing board before you start working.
01:13This one is an absolute steal at just $5.83 for a 1-meter roll.
01:19With a 4.8 rating and thousands of happy crafters, this is the perfect low-cost way to practice your
01:24technique without wasting expensive material.
01:27If that first foil sells out, here's a very similar eco-friendly adhesive-backed copper foil.
01:33It's practically the same product, soft pure copper tape for metal embossing, but it's listed at $6.01 for the
01:40meter.
01:41Why pay a few cents more?
01:43Well, this listing has a slightly different stock, and with nearly 3,000 sold and a 4.6 rating, it's
01:49a reliable backup.
01:51If the cheaper option is gone, don't hesitate to grab this one.
01:55It's still an incredible deal for pure copper tape that's this easy to work with.
02:00Next, we have something a little different, a soft brass-thin foil plate.
02:05Now, this is brass, not copper, but it's incredibly malleable and gives you a gorgeous gold tone that contrasts beautifully
02:11if you're mixing metals in your embossing.
02:13You can get it in thicknesses from 0.2 to 0.6 millimeters and it's 1,000 millimeters long.
02:20The best part?
02:22It starts at just $1.02.
02:25That's not a typo.
02:26It's an amazing, cheap way to experiment with a different metal.
02:31With a 4.6 rating, it's a fantastic addition to your toolkit.
02:36And finally, you can't emboss metal without the right tools.
02:40This wooden square dapping block punch kit is the perfect companion for all those copper sheets.
02:45It comes with a doming block and punches to help you shape, stamp, and form concave shapes in your soft
02:51metals.
