You'll Need:
Sticky back foam sheets (like these from Joann Fabrics)
Old film canister or cork
Scrap of felt
Small plastic tray or tupperware lid
Fabric paint
Fabric (for stamping)
Scissors

How to Make It:
1. Draw your stamp design on a piece of paper. Then cut it out and trace it on a foam sheet.
2. Carefully cut out the foam design.
3. Peel the backing from the design and stick it to your film canister or cork stopper.
4. To make the stamp pad, pour a decent-sized drop of fabric paint onto a plastic lid or tray.
5. Lay the felt onto the paint, letting it absorb.
6. Press your custom stamp into the felt, covering it completely with ink. Now you're set to stamp whatever fabric you'd like. Have fun!
