Texture Stamps

Follow these simple steps to make your own texture stamps! This project is great for all ages and can be adapted to use a variety of recycled materials.

Materials

  • Cardboard scraps cut into shapes

  • Assorted textured materials and recyclables (like bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard, or burlap)

  • Scissors

  • Glue (any glue will work, but hot glue works best)

  • Washable paint

  • Paintbrush

  • Paper

  • Optional: bottle corks, hot glue gun


Steps

1. Texture is the way a surface feels when it is touched. Rough, smooth, and bumpy are all types of textures. Cut the textured materials to fit the cardboard shapes and glue down. Let dry if needed.

2. Optional: Glue a bottle cork to the back of each shape to make a handle.

3. Use a paintbrush to spread a thin, even layer of paint onto the textured surface.

4. Press down onto a piece of paper to make a print!

5. For an extra challenge, mix and match different shapes and textures to make a pattern. A pattern is made by repeating shapes or designs
