A monogram stamp is a cool thing to have. It can be used to decorate greeting cards, gift tags, gift wrap and many more things.  You can also use it to mark your books to claim ownership. It’s also a quick gift to make and everyone can appreciate having their own monogram stamps.

Most stamps call for carving a big piece of eraser with knives. Since this process wouldn’t be safe for kids, I’m instead showing instructions for making monogram stamps with polymer clay.  The polymer clay is safe for kids to use and it’s much easier to handle than a set of knives. 

Monogram Stamp Craft Supplies:

• polymer clay

Monogram Stamp Craft Instructions:

1. Create a cube shape with the polymer clay. This will serve as the base of the stamp.
2. Using polymer clay, roll into thin strips.  Form letters with the clay thin strips. 
3. Carefully transfer the thin strips onto the base of the stamp.  Press on the thin strips to secure them onto the stamp base.  Remember to reverse the direction of the letters so they will appear correctly when stamped.
4. You can also just carve shapes and lines directly onto the stamp base if you’re more interested to create patterns than monograms.
5. Bake the clay according to manufacturer’s direction.

Here are some images of finished monogram stamps for your inspiration.
