Re-Post: Toilet Paper Tube Stamps

This is a post from the archives: August 4, 2014.

So you know that I love empty toilet paper tubes.  I use them all the time.  But you don't have to leave them "as is."  The soft cardboard is easy to form into lots of different shapes!

I was super thrifty and cut my toilet paper tubes into smaller chunks in order to create six unique stamps.

Well, the plain old circle probably isn't that unique...but let's keep that our little secret, okay?

Once I made my stamps, I got to stamping...

As you can see, I used acrylic paint on top of black tags.  It's kind of a cool effect.  But then I decided to break out my Gelli Plate.

Still working on top of black tags...

Finally I started making some little flowers by combining two of the toilet paper tube stamps with a stem.

Toilet paper tube stamps are a quick and easy way to make some fabulous marks with something you throw away all the time!  So rescue a few tubes from the trash and have fun with them!  I hope you'll give it a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
