Rolling Stamp Wrapping Paper

When I saw these little foam shapes in a package at the store, I had the idea to use my rolling pin to create this rolling stamp wrapping paper. It turned out to be a really fun project with really cute results!
If you know us, you'll recognize that these are photos from an old project- we did this TEN years ago!

Here are the supplies needed and my tips for how to do this project:

Materials Needed

- Rolling Pin

- Craft Paper

- Wax Paper

- Foam Shapes

- Paint

- Paint Brush

How to Make Your Rolling Stamp

I started by wrapping my rolling pin safely in wax paper. I didn't want to paint my rolling pin- I'd need it for baking later! ;)

Then I hot-glued the foam shapes to the wax paper on the rolling pin.

Stamping Your Wrapping Paper

Ken helped the girls spread white paint onto the shapes with a large paint brush. 

Be careful not to make it too globby or your shapes won't show up very well.

Ken helped them take turns rolling the homemade "stamp" over some brown craft paper.

After a few turns, we had a nice big roll of homemade "snowflake" wrapping paper.

Such a fun project, & the result was so cute! :)
