✿ Steps

Channel some quirky 70s flair with DIY styrofoam stamp art!

1. Trace & cut out two squares of styrofoam using a matchbook

2. Create a simple flower

   • Draw a circle in the middle of one of the squares of styrofoam

   • Draw an asterisk to fill the square, without drawing through the circle

   • Round it out into a simple flower

   • Color in the flower completely so that the styrofoam is pressed down

3. Draw & cut out simple cherries

   • Draw two circles with a small indent on the top

   • Draw a simple stem connecting them

   • Draw two leaves on either side

   • Cut outside the line to not break the stems

     • Tip! Slowly cut away little pieces, a mini scissors is best for this

4. Create handles out of tape (so you don’t get paint on your fingers!)

5. Start stamping!

   • Tip! Tap a generous amount of paint on the raised part of the styrofoam

   • Use the flower stamp first to block out the pattern

   • Make the first stamp at the bottom in the center

   • Stamp the top corners, lining up with the previous paint

   • Tap the paint on the cherry stamp & fill in the spaces

6. Grab the envelope

   • Stamp cherries on the back flap

7. Repeat the steps and voila! You now have a full set of greeting cards🍒
