Foam Stamp Prints

I love to make my own stamps with craft foam. Experiment making your own foam stamps and incorporate them in Plexi printmaking!

STEP 1: Stamps

A collection of my craft foam leaf-shaped stamps. Some are cut pieces and others are inscribed with lines to create the leaf shapes.

STEP 2: Paint Plexi

Drizzle out fabric paint onto the Plexiglas and roll it out into a thin layer over the entire surface.

STEP 3: Press Stamp

Randomly press the leaf stamp into the wet paint on the plate in different directions. Place a sheet of construction paper over the top and rub the back to transfer the print.

STEP 4: Print and Stamp

Press the painted leaf stamp over the top of a print to clean the stamp, then print over the top with another leaf stamp.
