Don’t you love when you fall in love with a new toy and that toy happens to be super affordable.
Like under $5.
I am so in love with my new stamping set. I got it yesterday for $4.99 at Harbor Freight Tools.
Pretty soon I’ll be stamping every wood and soft metal surface in our house. It’s so easy! You just pick a letter, put the stamp on the surface and smack it a few times with a rubber hammer.
I’m so excited about all the possibilities!
jewelry, personalized furniture, stamped spoons, toys…
I’m pretty sure I can go on forever.
For now I’ll just show you my first project.
It’s not quite finished yet because I need Eddie to cut it down to size before I stain it. (I’m banned from the miter saw. I think I need a little hand saw so that I can do quick, easy little cuts like this by myself.)
Today is Abby’s 2nd birthday already!! She already received all of her gifts at the party we had last weekend, but I still wanted to do something to commemorate the day, so I am making her a little plaque with one of my favorite quotes of all time. It comes from the children’s book The Runaway Bunny.
The book version says: “If you become a bird and fly away from me,” said his mother, “I will be a tree that you come home to.”
All I have to do is stain it and add a picture hanger to the back and I have all that stuff already, so all this cost me was the price of the stamps, which I will use over, and over, and over again.
I think it would be really cute to do this to a picture frame with any quote you want as a baby shower or wedding gift. Or maybe just the names or a special phrase that’s important to the couple. Or, you know, Mother’s day is right around the corner.
You could also make really cute wooden coasters…
Or add hooks and make a really cool coat rack…
I’m a little bit excited about these stamps, can you tell?
