In the realm of arts and crafts ideas for children, rubber
stamps rank pretty high up there, and for good reason; using
stamps is easy for little hands and the results are magical for
kids. I have to admit I never tire of the look of something hand
stamped either; the combination of ink’s uneven texture and the
idea of “self-printing” are just irresistible. But hold on
there, have you seen the price tag on rubber stamps? It’s high
enough that I own exactly four of them, one for the holidays,
two I bought for my wedding invitations oh so many years ago,
and my architectural stamp, no joke. My daughter has one mini
animal stamp set too, so I guess that counts but you can
probably tell where I’m going with this…..time to learn how to
make a stamp! I’ve been seeing a lot of fun homemade stamp ideas
online recently and decided it was time we tackled homemade
stamps to add to our expanding list of DIY art materials! For
