    Hello today I bring you an upgraded version of Corky my stamping tool found here ( • DIY Stamping tool usin... ) Please subscribe and share and if you like this fabulous stamper give me a thumbs up :D Like the popular brand but cheaper to make it , this stamping tool is larger than the name brand one on the market today. Requires no magnets or metal sheet to make, You could even use cardboard or a piece of wood that fits the frame. I was still able to keep it all under $10 and I made it under 30 minutes.
    I am going to fix the hidges better using Gorilla Glue so it has more longenvity, but other than that I am good to go :D It works great and does exactly what I need.
    Any questions please feel free to drop me a comment below.
    Materials used on this stamper:
    1 picture frame 11 1/4 x 8 1/4
    1 plexi glass sheet 8 x 10
    duct tape
    hot glue
    exacto knife
    1 cork board.

    You just saved me $60! TY! I didn't do it exactly like you did. All that I needed was the top acrylic and instead of the glass, I placed another sheet of acrylic. Instead of taping/gluing, the acrylic was sturdy enough and yet thin enough to fit under the clamps. Perfect! I love DIY projects! Thanks again!

    Wonderful! I am going to try to make this today. I am also going to try to print out 2 grids on transparencies with laser printer. I will place 1 over cork and line up 1 on inside of plexi glass . I think this will work and make it even easier to keep things straight. Thanks for this great idea. Will let you know how this works out.

    • @amkarei
      @amkarei 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sadly, UNLESS this person has another source (???) -- the Plexi -- AND the saw blade to cut it!! -- was the biggest expense of my DIY stamper!! For some reason, even the Dollar Tree's picture frames actually have GLASS in them, so no end-run on that facet of the project. It ended up costing me AS MUCH (or more?) than a Misti!! But it was a fun bonding project for me and my fella. AND when I found a Stamperatus on line, I didn't feel quite so guilty about "moving up". But, in truth, I still grab our "homemade" one for most projects!

    Great video, thanks for sharing. One suggestion: add a thin strip all the way across the long side under the clips to allow the plexiglas to lay flatter. Just clip all three layers, the cardboard, the cork, and the strip. What do you think?

    • @HappyDayCrafts
      @HappyDayCrafts  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thsnks for watching and sounds like a good idea, I will keep that in mind, so far I fixed that issue using foam tape, you can see it in my latest video the DIY washi tape I used corky there, I kind of heat setted each clip into the foam so the sheet lays flat and the slight height issue is ammended. :D so far so good :D

      Sorry, can you explain this extra strip to me please, I don't understand. I think your video is fantastic, I've wanted a misti for a while, but they are not stocked here in Ireland and to buy from the US is almost $100 and the postage is nearly the same. Thank you sooooo much for sharing your fabulous idea and saving me such a lot of money xxxxx

    • @HappyDayCrafts
      @HappyDayCrafts  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The strip is not needed if your plexi glass closes down all the way. once your clips are added. If there is a space that does not allow your plexi glass door to come closed all the way, then you can add a foam strip along that area to assist in it closing all the way,That will depend on the picture frame you use and the clips used to make this tool.

  • @kimberleyjohnson6645

    I'm confused because when I try to put the handle of the binder clip on the outside of the acrylic sheet, the sheet doesn't lay flat, it sticks up. It only lays flat if I put the acrylic on top of the handle of the binder clip.
