I use stamps that I make out of fun-foam for different purposes. \u00c2&nbsp;They work well with fabric-paint on fabric, with acrylic on paper, and probably other surfaces as well. They are easy to make, and easy to use.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

Below you can see the process, as I am make a stamp inspired by a decoration on an old alter in an even older church. Here is part of the alter:<\/p>\n

\"alter-ornament\"<\/p>\n

Make a photo-copy of the image you want to make a stamp of. Draw with a soft pencil around the edges. Turn the copy, place it on the fun-foam (mose-gummi) and rub hard against the back of the paper. This should transfer the pencil-line unto the fun-foam, so you can see where you want to cut.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah, the best option for fun-foam is the 9 mm. It is thicker than the ones you\u00b4ll find in the play-section, and while it is more of a job to cut it, you reduce the risk of spilling paint where it shouldn\u00b4t be.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

\"copy\"<\/p>\n

Use a sharp knife, and by all means, a hard surface underneath the foam. Hardwood or a hard-plastic. Something you\u00b4re not afraid of getting marks in. Also, when cutting in thick foam, try cutting only half-way down first in the fine detailed areas. This will make it easier to get the lines nice.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

\"cut-out\"<\/p>\n

When you\u00b4re done, glue it onto another piece of fun-foam with a strong glue. I use a special shoe-glue (!), but I am sure other types of strong glue will work too.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

\"stamp\"<\/p>\n

And then, I am ready to give it a try. This time on fabric.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

\"tring-it-out\"<\/p>\n

You can see the finished result on my blog in a week or so, for this particular stamp.<\/p>\n
