DIY foam shape stamps
 |
Close to dinner time, Nico looked bored, so I thought let’s do a quick painting (he likes painting) with something unusual, looked around and BINGO!
You know those little foam shapes for threading, well that, pipe cleaners and a glue gun is all you need to make those.
I took one of each shape we had and tested with the pipe cleaner folded to see which length I needed for the size of his hand and cut the pipe cleaners I needed to have a handle for each and got the glue gun. Just put a drop of glue in the hole, folded the two pokey extremities in the hole and stopped before I hit the other side. I also took half the shell of a nut and glued on a pipe cleaner handle, as you can see. Took me about 5 minutes to make.
He wasn’t quite sure about the nut but he had fun for quite a while with those, stamping away as you can see 
If you do this, we’d LOVE to see a photo of it. Email it to us or post it on our Facebook page. We’d love to do a Facebook album, a Pinterest board and a page of your creations
