Jezze recently shared how to make your own stamp pad using a recycled CD jewel case. This is so clever - I absolutely love it! She uses this for stamping on fabric. I love carving my own stamps and then using them on fabric! Now I can print with fabric-friendly ink or paint! [click here for COMPLETE instructions on Jezze's blog]
Project Estimate:
- stamp, on hand
- a flat plastic container, like a cd jewel case, on hand
- fabric paint or silkscreen ink*, $1
- spoon or knife, on hand
- felt cut to fit into plastic container, on hand
- table salt, on hand
Total Cost: $1
*You can use acrylic paint and then fix it with vinegar and an iron after it's printed on the fabric.

So clever! This would be perfect for my bigger stamps!
I really love this idea! It would be great for bigger stamps – good thinking!
Hi I am trying to stamp onto fabric, this looks like a good idea, but I am not clear on what I should be doing.. Should I spread the s.s ink in the jewel case? Am I mixing the ink with vinegar or putting it on the felt and then ironing in order to fix? Thanks!
I also need more instruction. Do you put the felt in the case and put the paint on it or use it to dab the stamp after pressing it in the paint? I don’t understand the vinegar either. Will it keep in the cd holder or is it a one time use?
@Lauren and @Betty: Check Jezze’s page for complete project instructions!
