diy hand carved stamp tutorial!

I was looking at my old blog posts and found this old stamp tutorial that I made two years ago and I

laughed at how horrible it was haha! So I decided to do an updated tutorial that is more detailed and

fun! I used to make hand carved stamps for my shop EatPrayCreate so it's been something that i've

been doing for quite some time! For those of you that are interested in getting started, be sure to take

your time and practice! I wasn't too good at first (this was my very first stamp that I carved) but once

I continued to practice I got better! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this tutorial I created for you guys! (:

Here is where you can get the materials:

1. rubber carving block - staedtler mastercarve block

2. tracing paper - purchase at any local craft store

3. x-acto knife - purchase at any local craft store

4. pencil - you can use any old pencil lying around

5. carving tool - speedball linoleum cutter

coming tomorrow...

Hello everyone! I've been requested to do a stamp tutorial many times so here it is! I hope it's easy to understand, please comment any questions you may have. Thanks (:

I use:

speedball linoleum cutter

+ click to enlarge

1. draw design on carving block using pencil

2. cut out with x-acto knife

3. begin carving using speedball cutter (carve everything but pencil outline)

This is your final product (:

Carving stamps get easier the more you practice, and I hope this tutorial will help you get started on a new hobby (:
