Rubber Stamp Junk Project.

I was afraid I may have made a few of you nervous after my last junk project post. I decided to ease back just a little and throw out a really simple project.


I have been attracted to vintage rubber stamps as long as I can remember...I keep snatching them up at antique shops, flea markets, and garage sales.


I particularly like the ones displaying dorky cool business names. Cinderella Clip & Curl?


And I adore the ones with great emblems on the handles!


Remove the rubber lettering at the bottom so your stamp will sit flat. Drill 2 holes in the top of the handle 1/2" apart and 1/2" deep. (I used a 1/16 drill bit)
(Tip: Make an indentation with a nail before drilling to keep your drill bit in the correct spot.)


Wrap 18 gage wire around a fine point Sharpie one and a half times to achieve the perfect round. Snip with a wire cutter leaving 2 tails approximately the same depth as your holes.


Your wire should look like this.


Add a tiny bit of glue to the end of the wire and insert into the holes.


Add a photo,


place card, business card, or small sign.


S is for simple. Have fun!
