diy button cork stampers

I found some button stamps I made years ago out of corks and gave them to Kiddo to try out as a fun art tool. All I did was glue buttons to the ends of corks. Buttons with interestingly raised surfaces and shapes will work best.

I found that paint works better than a stamp pad but you need to spread the paint thinly in a tray or else the paint globs and you don’t get a proper impression of the button’s shape and design.

The paper will make great gift wrap or cards.

This is also a great use for those extra buttons you still have for clothes that are long gone!
