Got an Egg Box & a Ballpoint Pen? 🖤 Easy Printmaking at Home Tutorial 🖤 Budget-Friendly Craft! 

In case the text near the beginning isn't readable, it says that you can use styrofoam takeaway boxes and meat packing trays for the same effect. You just have to wash them first. 😁

Ingenious idea! I love the rustic look of this. . . and so easy too! Thank you, Helen, for another nifty idea.

Hi Helen, Thanks for another great idea. 😘 I love having unique crafted stamps. ❣❣

Royal Academy.....hahahaha.....you are so funny. Says who? I know I'm voting for you! Great idea, I will definitely try this. Thanks Helen.

What a great idea, thanks!

Hi Helen: Another creative project. Love the idea of using stencils. Kind of reminds me of fiddling around on a Gelli Plate. Will definitely try your technique with the egg carton. 💜😎🇺🇸

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this great idea. ❤

Oh this is great! I've been wanting to make my own stamps but the thought of carving out a design on anything has stopped me. But this is so easy! No carving, so buying anything to make it from, just reach in the recycling for that empty egg carton and draw away!!! Thanks so much!

These look fabulous! I love prints, but never thought of using eggboxes - I will now! For lettering, which needs to be drawn mirror-wise to come out the right way on the print, you can flip a stencil over. I have made stamps using corn plasters, which already have a sticky side and can be easily mounted on a piece of cardboard, or an old cork gives a good handle (or makes an interesting stamp in itself). Elastic bands wound round a pencil and used like a rolling pin also work. The results are a bit unpredictable, so they are best for background papers. The little erasers you get on the end of pencils are great for dots, and a cheap pair of flip-flop sandals cut up with a craft knife gives you no end of patterns (get the largest size for more bang for your buck). I haven't done this for a while, and you reminded me of how much fun it is!

Very nice. No idea what it is, but nice all the same 😂

would like to see how it works on a gel plate. thank you x
