Tablescrap Creations: Citrus Slice Stamps

So I have this “collection” of recycled/upcycled/re-purposed crafts that’s been sitting in my blog queue for a while now and decided to start sharing them with you, along with my usual updates on our family life, which is more for my own sake than anybody else’s :)

I’m not sure why, but ever since I started sewing nine months ago, I began collecting empty/used thread spools in hopes that someday, I would find a new use for them. And I finally have! I give you, the citrus slice stamp! I’m sure others have probably already thought of this, but no matter, here is my mini tutorial on how to make… er… use them.

1. Gather your items: an ink pad, a brown paper bag (or blank card, paper, fabric etc.), and an empty spool.
2. Stamp one end of it.
3. To get the “citrus” slice marks, you will need to press in on the other side (the slice marks are slightly recessed).
4. Stamp, color, and tada! You have a fresh slice of lemon, lime, or orange!
5. Stamp on the blank side of an old business card, cut it in half, color, make a slit in the middle, and freshen up some drink glasses for a summer party.
6. A random shot of… stuff :)

Enjoy!
