Instructions

Two children's favorites - cookie cutters and STYROFOAM™ Brand

Products - team up to bring you this bonanza of fun and inexpensive

craft ideas. Making stamps from STYROFOAM™ Brand Products is a lot

of fun and costs a fraction of the price of ready-made stamps.

Decorate greeting cards, wrapping paper, placemats, napkins, T-shirts,

lunch bags, tote bags - just about any surface. Entertain scout troops, classrooms, church schools or summer camps. Or, try cookie cutter crafts at your child's next birthday party.

It's easy to do. First, select your favorite metal cookie cutter a dinosaur, teddy bear, candy cane, rabbit, or other design. Press the cookie cutter into a 1/2" thick sheet of STYROFOAM™ (the cookie cutters will not cut through a sheet thicker than 1/2").

Remove your shape from the cookie cutter, dip in paint, and stamp away. (See Directions below for additional information.)

But, don't stop there - and don't throw away your stamp. You can

reuse your stamp by threading it on a cord and making a pendant,

tying it on a package, decorating a plant stake, hanging it from

the Christmas tree or stringing several together in a garland.

Embellish the cut out shapes with wiggly eyes, feathers, dimensional

paints, buttons, glitter, sequins, and other trims.

(Use a low temperature glue gun or a thick white craft glue.)

If there is a stamp you'd like that's not available in a cookie cutter,

simply draw the shape onto the sheet of STYROFOAM™ and cut out with a

serrated knife. For easier, smoother cutting, wax the knife blade first

with an old candle. (NOTE: This step is not recommended for children.)

1. Cover the work area with old newspapers.

2. Press the cookie cutter all the way into the foam; remove

the cookie cutter from the foam and gently push the shape out

of the cutter.

3. If the edges of the cut-out are a little ragged, sand

lightly with a scrap of STYROFOAM™.

4. Squeeze paint onto foil and press cut-out into paint,

completely covering one side with paint.

5. Practice stamping on a spare sheet of newspaper. Press

loaded shape onto newspaper, pressing evenly on all areas.

Reload stamp and print again. When you're ready to go, stamp

away!

6. If desired, retouch lightly with a paintbrush to fill in

areas or remove excessive paint. Outline printed shapes and

add details with dimensional paints. Decorate with glitter,

wiggle eyes, sequins, or other trims.
