Carving my Art into ERASERS?! 

We're not going to lie, we felt a little nervous watching the carving phase! Spilled ink doesn't scare us one bit, though, as many gallons of gesso we've cleaned up in our stores. We're sincerely impressed with the results you got! If this fun eraser craft makes you want to try something on a larger scale, there are pink rubber blocks made expressly for carving, that work pretty much like this. Another variation that could make things interesting: color the carving surface with a black marker so you can see the light lines appear in real time!

This looks like so much fun! Stamps can be so expensive and this seems like a more affordable alternative.

We actually did this in art at school with erasers, the pointy end of a paper clip, and markers as the ink and it turned out pretty good! You should take this into consideration!❤

This is the first video I’ve watched of you and i gotta say, your eyes are beautiful!

I imagine my fingers looking as if they were attacked by a cheese grater if I tried this. Like the strips of eraser bits that look a bit like grated carrots. You're so brave! It IS really satisfying seeing the thin strip of eraser bits slowly sliced away in neat little strips, but I do not think mine would look like that. More likely, I and all the tools and everything around me would be "painted" in my blood. 😁Your stamps turned out super cute! ❤💯

carving art into erasers to make stamps is genius ! they came out SO CUTE

This has just made my head explode! I’ve wanted a specific size rectangle stamp (or stencil) that I’ve not been able to find anywhere. No idea why I never thought of this before. Thanks so much for the idea ❤

As a left handed person, I am so happy I found a RU-vidr that is left handed, also you are so funny and I just love your videos!

Mira, you should do more videos like this where you make stamps using erasers that you’re carving.

I think you can use watercolor as your "ink". Those are tiny canvasses to carve on!

Thank you for sharing this adorable craft. I so appreciate your joy as you create. thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. :-) blessings.

I kept waiting for a blubblefly! Really cool though.

Great idea ! I don’t have erasers I don’t use, but some thic Lino trash pieces. Maybe that will work to. That paint brush is so cute, and I love the tip about sketching the words on paper and ‘printing’ them on the eraser to have them in the other direction ! Have a nice day

Your joy in creating things is infectious!

I love that you have 2 boxes of erasers in front of you and instead of using one to actually... erase, you just scratched out the art fam that was too long. That was cute.

I loved the video, Mira! My favorite is the coffee mug! 💕

So true, creating almost the best feeling. For giving my creations away. It's hard to beat the feeling of when you give someone something you have put your heart and soul into. Very neat. Thanks for sharing 👍.

I actually saw a bulk pack of erasers yesterday while I was looking at Amazon and was soooo tempted to do this. I’m not experienced enough with stamping to do it but I love this video so so much!!!!!!

As so so so many times before, you made a tough day, less tough. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you❤️

Great stamps. Love the Mushroom one, (before and after alteration, liked a smidge better before).

Smiling the entire time as I was watching you as I swatched my Watercolors and enjoying your honest and happy reactions! These look amazing Mira! TYSM for sharing!

Oh I had such a lot of good memories connected to lino carving and it was so nostalgic for me to sit here watching you carve away. Thank you for posting this wonderful video. Also thank you for the inspiration. I just might get into carving again. It was a great deal of fun in school! God bless you and your loved ones. Have a great weekend!

Omg this is such a great idea! They turned out so cute, and I am loving the energy in this video, you really make it feel like we're chilling and crafting together ❤️

Oh man, this is taking me back to my college days! I took a bunch of printmaking classes and I loved them! Easiest A grades I ever got! I should dig out my old lino cutter and do this! 😊

These little eraser stamps are so cuuuuuute!!! ❤ You did a great job and you make me want to give it a try. Thanks, Mira 😊

This was so fun to watch! Thank you for sharing! Have an awesome day!

You are so much fun to watch! Happy stamping 😁👍

I just love your videos. So upbeat, fun and educational

Awesome result Mira!! Your carving skills are WickedCool!! Thanks for sharing your adventure.👍🤟🪡🎨

You could probably make a removable handle by using a cork, hot glue, and some sort of flexible material to latch on. Then you can add it to whichever stamp you're using at a given time

These are so cool! I can't get over it!!

Always love your energy Mira 💛 Hope you have a wonderful week ✨

Totally loved these!

Love the paint brush.

Those are such good ideas I just absolutely love that!

Such a cute paintbrush! Feeling the inspiration

This is such a fun idea. Thank you so much Mira❤️

we did the stamp project my sophomore year in high school in art class, he had us use decently sized rubber blocks and those tools in video, then we spread ink paint on them and used these little rolly things to spread off excess paint and made prints. it was so much fun!

If i tried this it'd look like i had a fight with Edward Scissor Hands. All looks so sharp!

The pure joy both in this video and also watching it ❤❤❤

entertaining as always Mira, thank you for making me smile :)

I have never seen you on RU-vid and I think you,re art work is amazing

Omg I love this!!

This is.... AMAZING!

You are on a role with videos these days. I love it!

I’ve done some eraser, linoleum, Speedball Easy Carve pink rubber carving blocks and some white carving blocks called “Moo Carve.” I really enjoy it and it’s fun and challenging to do your own designs. Like so many creative pursuits, it takes time to build your skills and work with the tools. It’ll be great to see your designs!

I like linocut art a lot so this is pretty neat. Not sure I could work that small personally at least not yet. Over all they turned out cute. I hope you have fun using them. Love the dramatic music for the ink pad refill lol.

Those turned out really cool Mira 👍🏼.. I think the first mushroom stamped out better but both looked good. The words really look good. 🥰💕

They're adorable 😻

Art IS fun!!! I enjoyed watching this video. It’s a cool fun time project. 😊

this would be a cool idea for watermarks on paintings or traditional art!

This is cute and undarrated! 💫💫💫 i hope this gets more views! And ur masterpieces are amazing!

I love this idea. I can't wait to give it a try

my fave was the paint brush. That was so cute.

That is...brilliant. And adorable.

Just started watching you and the first two things I thoughts were, she is so pretty! And I love your hand writing

Gosh the nostalgia. I used to do this with all of my erasers in elementary school, except the patterns never looked quite so good.

Wow so cool!

Thanks for making me smile 😊

I love when you’re pouring ink into the pad “what do I do now??” 🤣🤣

So cool looking relaxing

This my first video I’ve ever seen of her and i think im in love❤

I've done this before, it's super fun!

Hi👋, I just love your crafting🙂💖

What an excellent idea I have a bunch of bad-quality erasers and did not know what to do with them I will definitely try this!!!

I love your enthusiasm about carving! I want to do it too! I need to find out if it worked also on the old erasers :D

That’s such a cool idea!

super adorable 🍄

oh that is kool I certainly want to try this Thanks for sharing

That was fun!

I’ve done this before and it is so fun!

Fun vid Mira! Thank you! I preferred the first mushroom ... happy days xx Nell.

Mira, there's a tool thing (I forget what it's called) which is basically two pieces of wood at a right angle - like the corner of a picture frame - with a flat base beneath. It means you can wedge your eraser or lino block into the corner so it won't slide or move while you are cutting, making it safer. I think it has little silicone feets on the underneath so it sticks to the desk/table. You should definitely get one if you are enjoying this so you don't end up with a cutting tool stuck in your hand (trust me, it stinkin' hurts!! 🤣) Love the adorable stamps! I have circular stamp sized lino pieces which I got with a second set of cutting tools which would be perfect for this. I also have about a million erasers from Scrawlrboxes and Artful boxes which now have a use! Thanks! Have a great day/evening etc (not sure of the time difference between you and the UK but it's currently 11.30pm so I shall wish you a goodnight! 🙋🏻‍♀️🌃🕦🌛⭐️🌠🌌🛌

Your vids are amazing you never fail to amaze us

Awesome craft 😄

There goes Mira smelling everything 😂Love you Mira!❤

And now I want to make my own stamps! Thanks lol

Me wondering when this was filmed... ordered something semi recently, so it'd be fun to get a cute little stamp art ☺️😊

@MiraByler The ocean painting behind you is amazing. I would love to know how you did it!

came across this channel love this channel already yes I subscribed liked and comment and now I'm going to watch the other content 👏😍 I'm inspired 😁👩🏽‍🎨

I have used different markers as an ink by scribbling on a glass desktop (a mirror would work also), then wiping up the color with the stamp. This had a nice effect of being able to get different shades of color.

For something this small with such fine details, I definitely use exacto-knives! If you delicately carve at an angle you can crate V-like patterns and take the rubber off bit-by-bit.

So awesome

New sub *(this was so satisfying!!!)*

the first mushroom version is my top favorite of all stamps

Hero brand ink in the scrapbooking /paper craft section of your local art store is fun for stamping in my opinion. 😍

They all came out sooo cute! But I kinda agree with the last one. You shoulda just tried it again, tho. So cute regardless!

Cute stamps! Such a clever idea. Not sure I'm dexterous enough to try it. There will be blood, no doubt. BTW, we are vibing because just as I took a sip of coffee, you said, "Coffee time" 6:52 😮 P.S. I think I like the first version of the mushroom stamp, too. The paint brush is my fav. ❤

This is very cool

I love how she switched out if she wanted to carve the background or the art

Using a eraser is a clever idea! Totally trying this

This vid sounds cool😊

So cool

Lovin it 🥰

Literally just saw somebody doing this for the first time yesterday, and thought, "we'll, that looks fun!" I guess Mira did too. 🤣 Edit: it was the same person!

This exceeds cutting-Barbie-doll-hair level of satisfying.

I love making eraser stamps. This was fun to see. I do need a proper set of lino cutters though, my cheap set doesn't have small enough sizes to carve more detailed images. I really want to get some stamp pads too, to get different colours.

After a bad day, there’s a new Mira video ❤

Scanned and didn’t see anyone mention this but I do stamping to make cards and stuff and the way I ink a stamp would be to flip the stamp face up and sort of tap or blot the ink on top. This lets you cover as big a stamp as you have!

Ur such a great artest
