Homemade Foam Background Stamps: Part 1

In this video, I show how I made my own background/boarder stamps using glass from picture frames & craft foam (all of which I bought at the dollar store for under $3!!!). The video also includes a few quick demonstrations on using the homemade stamps and what the end results look like. I hope you enjoy the video. Please check out my YouTube channel for more ideas on money $aving craft creations! ;-)

Maybe could use a tape, electic or such, to keep those wicked edges under control on the glass?

[Luvleescrappin]

@1sweetbonbon Thanks for your comments :-) The glass is not sharp. The edges have been smoothed out so they are dull and safe to handle :-) TFW Hugs Leanne :-)

What glue do I use for the fun foam? Thanks. Carol

[Luvleescrappin]

how do you clean your homemade stamps?

[Luvleescrappin]

@yknowgirl Soap and water works well to clean off distress ink, but I also use stamp cleanser for pigment inks. I also rub the stamp on an old towel to help get off the ink. TFW Leanne ;-)
