Homemade Styrafoam Stamps! Oooh lala!





Here's a new project for you to try out . It's very inexpensive, creative, and environmentally friendly

Materials:
Styrofoam container (the one's your packaged veggies come in from the grocery stores)
Aleene's Tacky Glue (Here a soft gel or Heavy Gel Medium would work well also)
Unmounted linoleum
Glue stick
Scissors (For carving, and cutting shapes)

Tips:
~Use blunt end of scissors fo
r creating shapes on the styrofoam(or any blunt object)
~Save the side parts of the styrofoam. Cut them in various shapes,circles, rectangles and mount on' unmounted linoleum' purchase at any art store. Very inexpensive. I like the harder linoleum for this.

~For more durability surround your stamps with a soft gel medium.
~Cut shapes in the styrofoam and seal edges with soft gel medium



Have fun!
