Did you know that you can create your own stamps using recycled materials? It's true! Master this technique, and you'll never have to buy another expensive rubber stamp.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5-10 minutes
Here's How:

- Ink your stamp, and test it out on a scrap of paper.
- Make any necessary adjustments to your design.
- Use your stamp again and again to embellish greeting cards, scrapbook pages and more.
Tips:

- Press objects into the foam for even more design options.
- Write all text in reverse for proper printing.
