It can be confusing to go to a craft store to find clear rubber stamps that lie flat in a package. How can anyone possibly maneuver them to stamp an image on a project? The rubber stamps must be put together to make a clear rubber stamp tool. The clear rubber stamps are a great tool when they are put together with one of the acrylic blocks available in craft sections at many stores. They are budget friendly and high-quality stamping tools.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Clear acrylic block
  • Clear rubber stamp pieces
  • Ink pad
  1. Step 1

    Notice the grid pattern on the acrylic block. This is the top of the block.

  2. Step 2

    Select the clear rubber stamp images you need for your project.

  3. Step 3

    Peel the images one at a time from the storage sheet. Turn the acrylic block over so the indentation of the grid lines are on the bottom.

  4. Step 4

    Use grid lines as a guide to apply the image on to the smooth, clear side of the acrylic block. If the image is not straight, simply lift it off and reposition it. The material will stick to the block without adhesives of any kind.

  5. Step 5

    Add more images and words to complete your design. Turn the block over and press the stamp into the ink pad. Imprint your clear rubber stamps on to your project.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep your acrylic block and stamped images clean. The clear rubber stamps can last for years when cared for properly.
  • Do not apply clear rubber stamps to a dirty acrylic block. They will not adhere.
