How to make this easy Christmas Craft:
Christmas Stamps
1. For this Christmas craft, you’re going to be using a craft foam sheet and cardboard. For the craft foam sheet, you’re going to want a minimum of 3 mm thickness. (this is because this is going to be used for the stamp) Take a pencil and trace any pattern provided from the template. (You’ll notice that I choose the Christmas tree pattern) Trace the tree pattern onto the foam sheet. sketch or trace your image.
2. Use your scissors and cut out the pattern from the foam sheet.
3. The cardboard pieces are going to be what is used to make the base of the stamp. All you need to do is cut out a piece of cardboard that is big enough to hold and fit the foam patterns that you cut from the template. You can add a handle on it if you want, or you don’t have to. Either way is fine. If you do add a handle, just cut out a strip from the cardboard and attach it.
4. Take the foam pattern and attach it onto the cardboard piece with glue. Roll the cardboard strip into a handle shape. If you’d like to, you can press down with your pencil over a paper to etch in more detail.
5. Attach the rolled cardboard to the other side of your cardboard stamp if you want to – but just know that this step is optional and can be skipped as well.
6. Take your paint and apply it to the foam piece using a paintbrush. Once done, stamp it onto paper and have fun!
