Why not make your work look important with an official stamp!
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For this you'll need two coins, one of which must be bigger than the other, like a 2p coin and a 1p coin.
Stamps are usually just thumped on, so position the bigger coin so that it overlaps part of your work, then draw around it with a wax crayon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to make the line broken in places by stabbing the crayon on and off the surface, so that it looks like it's been really stamped. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, pop the smaller coin inside the first circle, and draw around that.
Again, use the broken line technique! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Write the date as neatly as you can, in the centre of the small circle.
Use the same broken line technique once more. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add squiggles in the gap between the two circles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can add writing around the border if you like, but make sure you use the same broken line technique. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When finished, give the stamp a smudge with your finger to make it look more authentic. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try some different designs, like a double stamp... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...or make a rectangular stamp using an eraser as a guide to draw around. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And you don't just have to use it on your work - you can use it on anything. Even a diary, like this!
Try it yourself! |
