Ever wanted a custom stamp but could not afford one? I have a super simple way to create unique, handmade stamps. Today, I will show you how to make stamps from erasers. Grab some wood carving tools and lets get started!
Supplies needed to make your own custom stamps:
The process is so super simple. But after some trial and error I found it was much simpler to explain on a video. You can watch me make the feather stamp pictured above in less than 8 minutes! That is right you can watch the entire process of making a stamp in the video below.
So now that you have made a custom stamp, what can you do with it? I made a few projects with the stamps that I made. I started with a “V” shaped stamp and a recipe box.
I made a herringbone type pattern around the sides of the box to give my kitchen a little flair.
Next I had to use that feather stamp that I made in the video. I grabbed a pack of cork trivets for this project.
I also used some tiles from the home improvement store. I added non slip feet to the bottom of both tiles.
I then stamped the cork and added that to the top of both tiles. These are the best trivets ever!
I am chomping at the bit to make even more stamps. The possibilities are endless once you master this craft technique. I am off to dream up even more custom stamps.
Want even more ideas for stamps? Check out these stamps that Niki carved last year.
Hi, This is how I first became interested in stamping with rubber stamps. Words of warning though-it can become addictive and take care as you carve out your design. One lady doing it with me badly cut a finger with one of the her carving tools and then blamed our teacher!!!!
I love these, they are so cute.
Great video Angie. Neat way to make a small custom image stamp. Thanks for sharing.
Angie, I love the stamps you created. I want to order more erasers so I can make more.
That is awesome, Angie! You’ve got me all riled up to make some stamps. I can’t wait to try this technique!
