You can also use acetone/ nail polish remover to transfer an image from a printed sheet instead of using a steam iron. It’s quicker and easier. You just place the image face down on the rubber and then use a cotton ball to dab the acetone on the back of the paper, once it’s all damp you remove the paper and the image should have transferred fully!
Thank you 💕💕💕💕 for posting this video. I had been taught how to do this and could not remember. Your video is perfect, clear visuals, clear instructions and good timing.
Thank you for this tutorial. This is the best tutorial I've seen. Due to shipping costs lately, I have been trying to find a good tutorial to make my business stamp myself.
I just saw you box making video and thought I'd check out your channel. Now, (on my 2nd video) I found this wonderful stamp making video. It never occurred to me I could actually make my own stamps. Looks to me like you have a new subscriber...🥰
Thank you so much for the price I paid for a snoopy the flying Ace rubber stamp I could have bought the material and made many stamps. I'm going to try and make some stamps I have a few picture's in mind plus it's something I always wanted to do but never knew where to get the materials to start
Do you ever mount your stamps on wood blocks or anything? I have been making stamps and am fine just using the rubber when I am using them, but I made some for my niece for her birthday and I think they would be more kid friendly if there was a block or something on the back. I saw one person mounting purchased stamps and she put a foam backing on it before putting it on the wood block, but I couldn't figure out why or if it is necessary.
I have never had any of the stamps I've created this way deteriorate. They are as supple and useful today as the day I made them, and many of them were made many, many years ago!
I really have no idea, but I can't see why it wouldn't be. It's inert and shouldn't react to wax at all, and the wax shouldn't be so hot that it would melt the rubber. The best way to find out is to test it. :)
@@hayjors Are you still asking about the prints that I transfer to the rubber using the iron, or do you mean the ink that I'm inking up the finished stamp with?
@@hayjors I don't do anything additional to the prints that I'm transferring to the rubber - these are just being used straight out of the desktop printer.
@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks yah pretty much. I’m well aware of copy right. But back here in my country people spend over 100$ for one of these. I managed to make mine for only 10$ thanks to your video. But the laws here are kinda screwy it’s supposed to be a democratic country though.
@@lemongrab6173 If you are talking about using someone else's design then, no, probably not legal and certainly not ethical. But just making your own stamp with your own design - I can't imagine any country having any sort of law against that!
@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks yup. I’ve studied the law here for 3 years couldn’t find anything on it either. Though it’s better to be safe. No my designs are original and my own. In fact I am well aware of how copyright works one of the reasons for why a personally handcrafted stamp is better. Because people are talented enough to forge a false signature. But a stamp especially a hand crafted one is a whole different story. I mainly use them on tech equipment and expensive avian eggs. Because I guarantee quality and give customers the option for refunds replacements or fixes. The issue is many people like to resort to swindling. And god forbid if you try to turn down a swindling male Karen. They’ll start posting videos to ruin your reputation. But with this it’ll give them a harder time.
Please!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF RAZOR BLADES!!! Specifically for beginners or people who never been exposed to the printmaking process. Professional printmakers use X-acto knives to work on really tiny details ONLY.
Well, that's just silly. That's like telling a chef not to allow his students to use sharp knives because they might hurt themselves. Anyone who can use an X-acto knife can use a razor blade. I AM a professional printmaker (MFA, worked in a lithography shop for years) and I have always used either razor blades or a scalpel, depending on what I'm doing. To eliminate a perfectly good tool because it's, what? Dangerous? is just silly.
I would not advise anyone to use a razor blade, one slip and your down the hospital, unless your VERY proficiant in using a blade DONT do this!!!!! The carving block is slippery!!!!
I will repeat what I said to a poster above: That's just silly. That's like telling a chef not to allow his students to use sharp knives because they might hurt themselves.

Hi! Is this just using standard A4 printing paper, or a special type?

👍but this used long time is it possible? Or Any damage?

@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks
Oh ! Nice 😊
Thanks for reply 🙏
Excellent
great video even the pausing and zooming in. than you
is it safe to use this material with wax for batik?
I really have no idea, but I can't see why it wouldn't be. It's inert and shouldn't react to wax at all, and the wax shouldn't be so hot that it would melt the rubber. The best way to find out is to test it. :)
Awesome!!!
Wow 😮
great tutorial 😀
Thank you, Sir! I found this so helpful!
what printer paper you are using? laser printer?
No, just an inkjet printer on regular copy paper.
@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks then you give some toner right?
what ink you're using??
@@hayjors Are you still asking about the prints that I transfer to the rubber using the iron, or do you mean the ink that I'm inking up the finished stamp with?
@@hayjors I don't do anything additional to the prints that I'm transferring to the rubber - these are just being used straight out of the desktop printer.
❤️
the tiny v grove chisel will do the same thing that you are using the razor blade for.
Not as accurately for me. Each to their own. :)
😁❣️
Is it legal ?
Is what legal? Making your own rubber stamps? 😂
