Make a Stamp Out of (Almost) Anything

On Sunday I was bored. My baby was asleep and my husband was playing video games (bleh). So, I decided to craft. 

The only issue was...I didn't have anything to make. I'm pretty low on supplies, and I'm also pretty poor... So, buying stuff wasn't really an option.

Luckily, I found some puffy fabric paint.

I thought about making some sort of shirt. But, then I realized that I didn't want to. So, I decided to make some stamps instead.

Really, this is the simplest craft I've ever made. All I needed was my puffy paint and random items that would have otherwise been thrown away.

See?


I used a straw, gum boxes, a Diet Coke can, an old dirty paint roller, and a ranch dressing lid. Don't worry, I didn't make my dog into a stamp, though it was tempting.

Then, I just started doodling with my paint.






The results made me smile. I mean, besides the fact that when stamped, the "e" will be backwards. Oops!

I love how simple it was to make these stamps...And, how you can literally make a stamp out of anything. So fun.

  1. OoOoOoOoO good idea! I'm super cheap and stamps can be expensive, so I love this idea! Plus, it seems like whenever I'm looking for a stamp, I need it in a specific size that I can't find, and this method would solve that cheaply!! Love it!!!
