i was so inspired by fall last weekend, that you get a double dose of DIY fall goodness today :)
in case you missed the copper pumpkin DIY earlier, make sure to click here!
+ mini pears ~ or full size if you wish {apples would probably work as well} // + stamp pad //
+ surface that you wish to stamp on
{i made this simple pouch, but little bags like are generally available at craft stores}
this little project is so easy, breezy
& there is so much you can do with your little pear stamp...
i made this little pouch and simply stamped the pear onto it
& thought it would be adorable to just fill it with the mini pears
to give to friends as a simple & thoughtful fall token :)
so, are you ready to create your own?!
1. all you need to do is cut the fruit in half & remove the seeds
{you will want to use the half that still has the stem attached}
2. press the fruit, flesh side down, into the stamp pad ~ make sure it is evenly coated
3. stamp onto the surface you are working on, ensuring that you also press down the stem
that is it...see, so easy...you could even make this a project to do with the kiddos :)
*** a couple quick learnings ***
i originally tried to use acrylic paints for the pear stamp, but it just didn't pick up the texture like the ink pad...the end result was more like a big blob of paint...no bueno
also, i originally wanted to do this same project with figs...
i thought that ia litle fig stamp would be so adorable... with all the little seeds and all
well that was a major FAIL! i learned quickly that a fig is far too moist & gooey and every time i would try to stamp it, it would just turn out to be {again} a big blob :(
oh well...you win some & you lose some...
c'est la vie
have a lovely, lovely day!!!
