🌹FLOWER STAMP MAKING PROCESS 🌹

Hey guys, I know I haven't been very active and I'm really sorry I have been so busy with school projects and trips and I haven't had time for anything. But it is all over now so I will try and be more active!

Anyways today I want to share with you a stamp I made and the process!

So I had a friends birthday party and I got her a gift but I didn't have any wrapping paper in my house, so I decided why not make my own wrapping paper with some white paper and a stamp?

While I was in Japan I bought this stamp making set at a stationary store and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to use it!

These are all the materials that came in the set.

1. A big square of eraser (since these are eraser stamps)

2. A carving tool

3. Some putty to clean the stamps after use

4. Stamp ink

I have made stamps once before in art class and really wanted to do it again but I needed this carving tool to do so.

This tool has a sort of half pipe like shape that is used to carve out shapes in the rubber.

So first step is to draw out your design. You can either draw it directly onto the eraser or since I had some tracing paper handy, I drew it on a separate piece of paper and then transferred it to the eraser.

I decided to go for a flower since it was an easy option.

Next you want to cut out the design from the rest of the eraser to make it easier to work with. I used an exacto knife for this.

Once you've cut out the design you can go in with the carving tool and go over your design.

Then you can get ride of all the excess eraser...

And you're done!

On another note...@mashiliyanage, @chamudiliyanage and I are working on a little project.

I present to you our tag! #tos, standing for
"Teens On Steem"
I will be tagging my posts under this from now on and if you are a teen so can you!
Using this tag we can start to unite and find other teens here on this platform and grow our knowledge.

So if you could resteem this post and get it out to any teens here on steemit that you know that would be very much appreciated.
And if you are a whale or a dolphin or just want to give us a hand in creating our community please contact any one of us, we are quite small and new to this platform and will accept any help we can get.

Thank you so much for your time.

All work belongs to me!
