I am making a recipe book for my 10 year old daughter. She loves to make up her own recipes and make them. I thought that I would make her a special book that she could write them in. I am making it out of paper mache, paint and stamped letters. I need to know if anyone knows how to make stamp ink from everyday household items. I only have black and blue in my kit so I want to make more. PLEASE any suggestions would be great. Also any suggestions on what else to put on the book to make it more special would be greatly appreciated also. Thank You.

Making stamp ink requires you to have a protected surface to work with. The ink will stain so you need to watch to be sure none splashes or gets on anything that you don't want stained. I recommend using newspaper or towels to protect your work surface.
You will need:
Powdered Clothes Dye 1/4 Teaspoon Alcohol 5 Tablespoons Glycerin 1 travel soap box 1 foam rubber (fine grained)
Once you've chosen the color of dye that you would like to use, you will need to mix that dye with alcohol to the consistency of a thin cream. Next you will add glycerin and stir until it is well blended. This makes enough ink to replenish your ink pad several times. You can use an ink pad that you already have, or you can create your own by using a travel soap box and a piece of foam rubber cut to fit. To actually make the stamp pad you will need fine grained foam rubber and a small plastic box with lid. I recommend using a travel soap box. Cut the foam rubber to fit inside the plastic box. Now all you have to do is pour the ink over the stamp pad or foam rubber pad. Spread the ink evenly over the top with a tongue depressor or knife.
Now you have a great way to save on rubber stamp ink and get the colors you need most! Have fun!
