How to make your own stamps

This is how I make my own stamps:

- find a picture on the internet or draw something yourself. Don't forget to flip your picture 180 degrees horizontally before you print it!!

- I'm using a cheap large eraser for this stamp and start with some doodles on a piece of paper.

 

- on the back of the paper/your drawing/print: use a lot of charcoal;-))

 

 

- place the paper on the eraser and trace your drawing (transfer it)

 

(I didn't do a very neat job this time, but it's a simple drawing so I simply traced it with a pen...with a little help from my assistent Bob;-))

 

- cutting (I'm using a very cheap lino-cutting tool)

 

- inking and fine-tuning....

 

I hope you enjoyed my very first tutorial;-))

Have fun!!!
