Stamped Pattern

Well, you may be wondering a few things but baby wipes are for more than a baby’s bottom (and hands and faces)  Actually, you can use baby wipes to create a pretty interesting stamping technique with very little fuss and muss about it.

What you need:

  • Baby Wipes (of course)
  • Reinkers: These are little containers filled with stamp ink so you can refill your stamp pads.  You will want to use several colors.
  • Stamps
  • Cardstock

Directions:

  1. Take out two or three baby wipes.  You can do this with one but I like to have a few to prevent it from staining through.
  2. Place the baby wipe onto a piece of paper or discarded cardstock to prevent staining your table with the ink.
  3. Now that you have the baby wipe ready, take one of the reinkers, it is best if you start with the darkest color, and pour some of the ink onto the baby wipe.  You will want to make little drops of color so you have several dots of ink on the baby wipe.
  4. Take the second color and repeat the process.  Don’t worry if you overlap the colors since this will only add to your finished craft.
  5. If you are using a third color, fill in the white spaces of the baby wipe around the other two colors with your third reinker.  If you are using four or more, keep repeating the step until your last reinker and then fill in the white.
  6. Now that your color palette is ready, take a stamp and use the baby wipe as a stamp pad.  Stamp the image onto a piece of cardstock

The image that will be stamped will pull up all the colors you placed on the baby wipe and you should be able to do more than one image with the temporary baby wipe ink pad.  Once you are finished stamping, throw away the baby wipe and used the stamped image for scrapbooking or for a card.

This is actually an easier way to do it and you don’t have to worry about finding a sealer that you can use on dinnerware.  Although the example shows a Christmas plate, you can actually do this with any type of theme.  It is also a great craft that you can do on your own or with kids and there are tons of different ways to do this.

What you need:

  • Transparent Glass Plate
  • Colored Tissue Paper
  • White Tissue Paper
  • Stamps
  • Stamp Ink
  • White Glue
  • Scissors

Directions:

  1. Before you begin stamping, it is very important that you cover your work area.  I have, on more than one occasion, stamped tissue paper only to have the stamp image bleed through the tissue paper and onto a table for a permanent image on my table.
  2. Now that your area is ready, cut out a circle of white tissue paper that fits the bottom of your plate.  Set aside.
  3. Cut the colored tissue paper into one inch squares, set aside.
  4. Take a stamp and cover it with stamp ink.
  5. Stamp the image onto the white tissue paper carefully.  It is better if you use a solid image instead of one you need to color but if you need to color it in, do so carefully with markers.
  6. Allow the ink time to dry.
  7. Once the ink is dry, cover the bottom of the plate with white glue.  Try to make it as even as possible.
  8. Press the white tissue into the white glue and smooth it into place.
  9. Take the white glue and place it on the bottom sides of the glass plate around the white tissue paper on the bottom.
  10. Place the tissue paper down on the plate until the entire bottom is covered.
  11. Put the plate upside down and allow the glue to dry completely.

At that point, you will have a finished plate that is beautiful and matches the holiday that you have made it for.
