Sponsor DIY-- Facebook Like Button.

Hi there, I'm Katie. You can find me over on my blog, Punk Projects, and my Etsy Shop.
Justine is letting me guest post today, so I thought I would share this fun DIY with you guys! I don't know about you, but the first thing I check when I get on my computer is my facebook. So, I thought it would be neat to make a facebook rubber stamp. Enjoy--
Tools and Supplies: Carving Block or Big Eraser, Craft Knife or Carving Tool, Ink.
1. Sketch out your design onto your carving block. I googled a "facebook like hand" just to make sure I knew what it looked like.
Depending on how big your stamp is, You may want to cut off some of the extra carving block. Just to make it easier.
2. Using your Carving Tool or Craft Knife (I didn't have a tool, so I just used my craft knife. It's a little harder, but definitely possible- just don't cut yourself!) Start cutting away everything you don't want.
3. Keep carving away until you get a stamp.
Note to self: If you have words on your stamps, Carve them backwards. Otherwise, when you stamp it they end up backwards. like this--
This was my second attempt. Haha. Much better, right?
Thanks for letting me guest post Justine!
