Furniture pads — adhesive-backed felt circles that keep a chair from scratching the floor — make great stamps. Here, we use them to print snowmen for holiday cards, adding hand-drawn faces, arms, and buttons so that each one is unique. To reduce waste, first stamp your snowmen on pieces of card stock, then attach only the best to blank cards.

Materials

• Felt furniture pads
• Card stock
• Blank cards
• Sturdy cardboard
• Paintbrush

• White paint
• Scissors
• Black and orange paint
• Black marker
• Double-sided tape

Instructions

1. For the snowman's body, you'll need pads of equal thickness with three different diameters. Arrange them on a piece of sturdy cardboard as shown. Use a paintbrush to coat the pads with white paint, then stamp your snowmen onto the card stock. Let your prints dry.

2. Cut a hat and carrot shape from another felt pad and adhere them to small pieces of cardboard. Use black and orange paint to stamp hats and noses on the snowmen. Add eyes, mouths, buttons, and arms with a black marker. Attach your snowman prints to blank cards using double-sided tape.
