So it's pretty handy having a hubby that's a builder. There's all sorts of good stuff in his rubbish bin in the shed. He always has a mountain of wooden offcuts so I found a pretty cool use for them.
I made all these stamps quite a few years ago and they are simply sensational for polymer clay.
I'll show you in the step by step pics.

Take some wood offcuts. |
|
Heat your glue gun and have plenty of glue on hand - you'll want it!! |
|
Glue gun away!!!! |
|
Press into some clay. I used three colours - black, light blue and white. |

Shave slices off the top to reveal the beautiful pattern inside.
Okay if you don't have access to wood offcuts why not try the back of a mounted rubber stamp. |
|
Try to use stamps that don't have the shiny coating as in the pic above or simply remove coating before applying glue. |
This is awesome Deb! I've actually never seen this done before.
