Make Your Own Stamp Pad

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.

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?

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
