Carve a Mini Stamp

I love DIY stamps! Here’s another great idea for carving your own TEENY stamp: use a little eraser on the end of a pencil! This mushroom stamp (and idea) came from Yarni Gras. Thanks to Kristi, who gave me the tip for this project. [project instructions here]

You can pick up pencils at the dollar store if you don’t have any in your pencil jar. You probably want a relatively unused eraser for this project. I also LOVE the idea of stamping on ribbon, so go ahead and pick up a pretty color of ribbon at the dollar store to stamp on.

Project Estimate:

Pencils with new erasers, on hand or $1
Straight blade, X-acto knife, paring knife, on hand
Pen, on hand
Paper or ribbon to stamp on, on hand or $1
Stamp pad, paint, or marker to ink the stamp with, on hand or $1

Total: FREE and up

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 [...] […]
