The Brander
This is my new electric brander that I have been experimenting with today. I wanted a way to add the shop name to the bottom of the loop troupers and this is so hot to me.
I had a custom metal plate made and bought the electric brander and temperature regulator from here. The branded imprint has a great hand crafted quality that I’m digging.
Too cool for school. And speaking of The Loop Troupe Gang and their fellow Super Star Necklaces and Celebration Candle Kids, I have been working on a slew of them so expect a shop update with new ones in the next few days.

(since I’ve already checked it out): did you buy the 65 watt or 125 watt for that “level” of branding?

125 watt, and they highly recommended the temperature regulator and I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve branded + done some wood burning before and it’s extremely unreliable to try and do it without one. (At least with craft type irons/wood burners.) They have a sweet spot temperature and if you have the craft level irons plugged in too long they get too hot and just start burning things. So don’t skimp and try to pass on getting the regulator, you’ll only be disappointed with the quality of the brand in the end.

That is way too cool for words. I’m really loving “watching” your business grow. What great inspiration!

your score just went up at least 10 points. Who has a brander?! Think of all the uses… Holly GoLightly - Travelling. She could have used a brander.
