Make Holiday Cards And Gift Wrap Using DIY Stamps

Look­ing for an easy way to print cards and wrap­ping paper with your chil­dren? This roller print­ing tuto­r­ial shows you how to craft fes­tive Christ­mas tree stamps using a lint roller and how to trans­form a bot­tle cap into a stamp for envelopes.

Let’s get started!

How To Make A Roller Stamp

What You Need

• Lint roller
• Craft foam
• Baker’s twine
• Skewer stick
• Scis­sors
• Ink pad, green
• Card or gift paper

Step 1

Cut the craft foam in 8 pieces approx­i­mately 1 x 2.5 inches each. Cut tree shapes out of them. Take the skewer stick and make some tiny holes in the trees. Cut a piece of baker’s twine.

Step 2

Add the foam to the roller: Posi­tion the trees so that their stumps point to the han­dle. Wrap the twine around and through the trees so that it looks like a hill­side or a walk.

Step 3
Press the roller onto an ink pad and roll until it is com­pletely cov­ered with green ink.

Step 4Roll it onto your paper. Let the ink dry.

Add some star stick­ers if you like.

How To Make An Enve­lope Stamp

What You Need

• Bot­tle cap
• Craft foam
• Glue
• Scis­sors

Step 1
Cut some small tree shapes from the foam and glue them to the bot­tle cap. Let it dry

Step 2
Press the stamp onto an ink pad and trans­fer to your envelopes.

While clean­ing up, I dis­cov­ered that I could even use the scrap foam to make a confetti-like pattern.

Have fun with this easy hol­i­day craft!
