Make Your Own Craft Foam Stamps

After reading this article in FamilyFun Magazine, I was inspired to come up with a similar, but smaller scale stamping project for Mia. Unlike the original craft, we didn't have to buy anything special (like a mailing tube); we used what we already had, including leftover adhesive foamies from Logan's birthday party craft. We tried both ink and markers with our stamps, but I am sure paint would work as well since this is what they used for the magazine craft project. I just figured that my way would be less messy, and I didn't want to clean up paint.

{I stamped this airplane using blue ink and then used markers to draw clouds and a loop-di-loop for a fun picture.}

 

 

{I wondered how it would work if we adhered the foamies directly to a brayer and then inked it and rolled onto the paper?}

{Turns out this makes a nice rolling stamper.}

{Don't have a brayer? Just use a paper towel tube.}
