Making A Stamp Pad at Home

Supplies:

• shallow plastic container or an old plastic crayon case
• foam/sponge
• white cotton cloth
• scissors/cutters
• hot glue
• powdered dye
• rubbing alcohol

Steps:

1. Measure the sponge based on the size of the case. Cut it out. Trim it if it is too thick so it won't absorb all of the liquid ink.

 
2. Cover it with cloth.

 
3. Apply glue inside the crayon case and neatly place the covered sponge inside.

4. Now, let's pour a tablespoon of rubbing alcohol into 1 tsp powdered dye. Mix it thoroughly until all the powder is dissolved. You might want to add more alcohol, but see to it the it doesn't overpower the coloring.

 
5. Pour mixture onto the covered sponge and let it absorb all of the liquid.

 
6. Do not pour everything yet as it might spill. Just make sure the sponge absorbs enough ink, then it will be ready to use.
