DIY foxy rubber stamp June 24, 2013 – Posted in: DIY
I recently purchased a block of carving rubber off Etsy. I searched high and low for them in Cape Town but came up with no luck. I have made stamps before using Lino, but im sure any of you who have worked with lino before will agree that it can be particularly hard to carve. The rubber was nice and soft which made it really easy to do. I just drew a little fox on by hand and then carved it out. When carving a stamp its important to think about positive and negative space.
I stamped my fox in an orange craft paint onto some fabric I had lying around. Not all of them came out perfect, but im happy with a natural crafty look!
I then ironed it (on the back side) and ironed ‘up’ the raw ends to flatten them so I could make a spread for my coffee table. Cute for a themed event or girls tea party. I got out this vintage tea & saucer that belonged to my great gran, so pretty!

Thnx. This is adorable! I wanted to do this to a cotton skirt i made for my girls…can the craft paint be washed in the washing machine on cold? I don’t plan to pitot in the dryer, but can it be dried just in cad?
Thnx!

Hey Kim, Im glad you like! Im not sure, try using fabric paint instead of craft paint if you plan on washing it!
Dusty Leslie October 12, 2013 - 22:01

It would be great if you could do more “woodland” inspired prints like these & sell the material to your clients. I want to do a this as a nursery theme for our little boy arriving in April next year and can’t find any modern “woodland prints/material” anywhere. If you know of a distributor, please let me know?

I’ve made a few of my own stamps using carving wood (little blocks sold in a bag at craft stores) and cutting out foam shapes that I glued to create the stamp. It ends up working well but may not be as durable as your carving rubber.
Your stamp is perfectly adorable!

I just love this particular design & color. I wonder if you could use fabric paint so it can be washed?
Robyn - Zana March 10, 2014 - 07:24 – In reply to: Debbie Myers
Yes, you totally could use fabric paint!
Debbie Myers March 08, 2014 - 02:12
