Stamps, anyone?

I've read several ideas lately about making your own stamps.

One idea:  craft foam!
I want to try that . . .

I cut a circle of sticky backed foam and stuck it on the lid of a medicine bottle

Drew a design on the foam

using a ballpoint pen
The pressure indention from the pen does its magic.....voila!

How cute is that!

In lieu of an ink pad

I did a quick smear of felt tip marker

and stamped away

Whoa.....that worked so fine

I love the whimsy of the designs

The color doesn't wash totally off the foam between colors.....but good enough

I think I see some 

chat and carve 

kiddo fun ahead at school

Easy to see how this can be useful and therapeutic as I counsel with my young friends

I showed my sample to several teachers

I saw their brains start spinning about classroom art project potential

I want to try it on blocks or strips of wood

for my personal use

But in the meantime, bring me some of your milk jug lids

I think they will be my best freebie stamp  base

Gotta go try that . . .
