- Instructions
-
-
Start with a wooden block or piece of scrap wood, then cut a piece of paper to fit one side.
-
To create the reversed letters for the stamp, have your child write her name on the paper or write it for her. Go over the letters with a pencil so that they're thick and dark.
-
Place the paper facedown on the block and rub the back of the paper to transfer the pencil marks.
-
Trace the letters with white dimensional fabric paint, keeping the thickness of the lines consistent. Gently tap the block against a table to even out any bumps in the paint. Let it dry. -
To use, place the card to be stamped on a stack of newspapers. Ink the stamp and press it onto the paper.
-
- Tips:
- Make personalized wrapping paper with a stamp bearing the name of your gift recipient. Set up your child with an ink pad and a large sheet of paper and have her cover the paper with the name.
