\"Rubber<\/p>\n

The Dollar Store Can Sometimes Be Your Best Friend:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been picking up rubber stamp sets at my local dollar store (see photo). They only cost a buck per set… so as you can imagine, my collection<\/span> is growing fast. How can I resist at that price!?<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar word sets and alphabet rubber stamps sell for $15 to $22 at the big box craft stores. Sorry Michael’s. I love ya but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rubber stamps are really handy for using with polymer clay. You can dust them with cornstarch and press them directly into the clay. Click on the following link to see a photo of how I used them in a faux stone polymer clay project: Dog Tags Jewelry<\/a>

There are also some other really cool techniques as well. I’m currently working on an extremely awesome graffiti bead technique using these word stamps that I can’t wait to make a mini course on. So stay tuned for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

A quick tip for when you are buying rubber stamps is to salvage some of the plastic packaging for storing your stamps. What I do is cut around the ‘plastic bubble’ that the stamps are packaged in, to make a nice little open top box for them. This allows you to keep everything organized with the tops easy to see at a glance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully you’ll be able to find some of these nifty rubber stamps in a dollar store near you. If not, you can also a discount coupon next time you go to Michaels.<\/span><\/p>\n
