This week you can make your own bottle cap stamps. It is simple, fast and fun. You can be as creative as you like. Just remember your image will be in reverse.
Stamping is a form of printmaking. Your stamps can be used to make wrapping paper, stationary, greeting cards, or decorate your notebooks. The possibilities are endless. Why not check out some books on this type of art and start creating your own masterpieces.
Lets get started. Below are the instructions, from the blog: http://vanessasvalues.blogspot.com/2011/11/create-with-kids-make-your-own-bottle.html
What you need:
Bottle tops. The tops from the flavored water and orange juice bottles are just the right size.
Foam shape stickers. Check your local dollar store for foam stickers.
Or you can cut or punch out shapes of your own to make an original design.
Stick the foam stickers to the bottle tops to create your stamps:
Ink pad or paint. If you use paint, be sure to cover your surface with newspaper.
That's all there is to it!
Now you can try making stamps out of other objects and materials, like fruit and vegetables, corks, flip flops or what ever else you can think of!
Here is a short video on making stamps out of fruits and vegetables:
Keep exploring and creating. Make sure to show us any of your artwork you make here or at home. Don't forget to check out some of the books we have on display to help spark your imagination.
See you next week.
