Craft Foam Paint Stamp
This super simple project is full of potential. Buy a sheet of the extra thick craft foam from your local craft store (you may be able to laminate the thin stuff together with a strong but flexible glue, but I haven't tried it).
Next, carve out your design with a craft knife and use a small pair of scissors to smooth out any ragged edges. In the photo below, you can see how it was not a very clean cut on the curved arms of my meeple pattern, so I cleaned that part up with a small sharp scissors.
Once the stamp is done, go to town with your paint. I used mine to make some homemade gift wrap out of brown craft paper from the dollar store and some leftover craft acrylic paints. Cheap, quick, and totally customizeable!
I can't wait to make more stamps with fun foam. You can make pretty much anything you can think of.
Note: Since this post, I have made some other fun foam/craft foam stamps. Check them out: Fun Foam Stamps Part 1, Fun Foam Stamps Part 2, Impression Stamps, and Death Star Stamp
