Another stamp - little bird

So, I may become addicted to making stamps.  It's so easy and pretty fun.  Here's a little bird stamp taht I made last night!

If you want to know how to make these yourself make sure to see my tutorial.

Make your own stamps

I love stamps, but hate spending so much money on them.  And also wish I could customize them.  I decided to try out making my own stamp.  Plus I think it would be great to be able to stamp my own patterns onto fabric.  Below is my first attempt at stamp making.

What you'll need:

• Rubber eraser
• Pencil
• Wood carving tool
• scissors

1)  Draw your pattern onto your eraser making sure the parts that you want to show up are colored in with pencil and those you don't want to show up on your stamp are left blank.

2) Using your wood carving tool, start carving out any of the parts that are not colored in with pencil.

3)  When you have finished carving out all of the pieces that are not colored in with pencil, then carve around the outside edge of your design.  Then using your scissor cut around your design and you're ready to stamp!

I think this turned out pretty successful and I will post all the stamps I make here!  I would love to see how yours turn out!
