Polymer Clay Tutorial 54: Stamping on Polymer Clay

Hi Weekend Crafter!

It's Anj here and for this tutorial, I want to share with you how I've repurposed my stamps to use on polymer clay. During my scrapbook phase, I had acquired a lot of ink pads and clear stamps to use for my crafting. But when I started devoting more of my time to polymer clay, scrapbooking took a back seat and so did the tools. That is why I'm so happy I found another use for these stamps. So today, let me show you how I made bag tags, bookmarks and plant markers.

For materials, you will need polymer clay, alphabet stamps and ink pads. I used both a chalk ink pad and a pigment ink pad and both worked pretty well. You will also need a tag stamp, a clear mini block, a rectangle corrugated cutter and a small circular cutter, a clay blade and a clay roller.

FYI, I actually tried out a lot of different methods of putting color on the stamps. I used permanent markers and mica powder. But using the ink pads was actually the easiest way of putting color on the clay. Plus, once the items were completely baked, the colors become permanent.

I hope that you enjoy making these very simple, but quite useful crafts. If you haven’t yet, do comment, like and subscribe to the Craft Time Studio. I love answering your questions, and helping you in your polymer clay journey. I'm also on IG @crafttime.ph. Have a crafty weekend!
