DIY Stamp

Do you like stamps? I never really thought I did until I started my picture journal. Stamps glam that up like nothing else. Plus they're really fun to use! Today I'm going to show you two ways I made a stamp. (I also did this DIY with my little sister (4) and I wouldn't recommend doing this with a small sibling. Tell them they can use the stamps at the end!) 01. start by sanding all your wood blocks so that they're nice and soft. No rough edges, they can cause slivers, and it's not worth it.   02. paint the top of all your wood blocks. I used 2-3 coats per stamp. Wait for each coat to dry before painting another, and also before moving on to step 3. 03. cut out all your shapes. I would suggest you use craft foam. The stamp will show up better, unless you want a dryer look. 04. using your glue, attach all the shapes to the wood blocks. 05. let dry. 06. draw your shape on the top of the stamp. 07. find a surface and start stampin'!
