If you are a crafts-lover like me, and looking to add a fun and inexpensive new DIY to your next crafting session, look no further! In this tutorial I will be teaching you how to make your own stamps out of recycled cork from wine bottles. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n

MATERIALS NEEDED:<\/span><\/h5>\n

–\u00a0 Cork (from a wine bottle, the one I am using is from Barefoot)<\/span><\/p>\n

– X-ACTO Knife or Box Cutter\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

– Pencil<\/span><\/p>\n

– Piece of Paper<\/span><\/p>\n

– Ink or Acrylic Paint<\/span><\/p>\n

(Note: An advanced version will sub out the cork for an eraser)<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 1: TRACING<\/span><\/h5>\n

Take the cork you plan to carve and trace its outline on a sheet of paper. This allows for more precision when transferring your design on the cork itself.\u00a0\"STEP1\"<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 2: CREATE A DESIGN<\/span><\/h5>\n

Design your stamp! Be sure to draw within the lines to make sure your design successfully transfers to the cork. Use clean lines to ensure the ease of tracing later!\"STEP2\"<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 3: CUT OUT YOUR DESIGN<\/span><\/h5>\n

Using the X-ACTO knife or box cutter, cut out the design you created.\u00a0\"STEP3\"<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: You may have to make adjustments, using the cork as a guide,\u00a0<\/span>trim where needed<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 4: TRANSFERRING THE DESIGN<\/span><\/h5>\n

Place your design cut-out on top of the soft side of the cork and trace!\u00a0<\/span>NOTE: If your design contains text, be sure to transfer the design backwards, so that your final stamp will be legible from left to right.\"STEP4\"<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 5: ETCHING YOUR STAMP<\/span><\/h5>\n

Using the X-ACTO knife, cut the design you have traced into the cork. Be sure to get a deep slice for clean lines.\"STEP5\"<\/span><\/p>\n

STEP 6: USE YOUR DIY STAMP!<\/span><\/h5>\n

You did it! Now you can use your stamp. Using the paintbrush, layer\u00a0<\/span>the ink over the surface of the stamp.\u00a0<\/span>NOTE: Be sure to use the ink liberally for a clean print.\u00a0\"STEP6\"<\/span><\/p>\n

For more fun stamp ideas, try etching into an eraser!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy stamping!<\/span>
