Who this list is for
This list is for crafters setting up a table to decorate twenty small kraft paper gift bags using homemade cork stamps. It suits small group workshops, school events, or anyone making personalized packaging for a party or holiday. It is not meant for fabric stamping or any commercial labeling projects—just paper bags for gifts.
How to use this list
Start by gathering all the supplies before you invite helpers or set out the bags. Lay out the plain kraft gift bags, making sure you have twenty. Use the natural wine corks and a craft knife on a self-healing cutting mat to carve simple shapes. Sketch your designs with a pencil and shape them using the templates as guides. Squeeze washable block printing ink onto the acrylic inking plate, roll it out with the brayer, and ink up your cork stamps. Stamp each bag, then set it on a drying rack. Wear disposable gloves to keep hands clean and use paper towels for any spills or mistakes.
Common mistakes
Don’t use too much ink on the cork stamp—this causes smudging. Avoid skipping the self-healing cutting mat; cutting directly on a table can ruin surfaces and dull your knife. Don’t use fabric ink or permanent inks, as these are hard to clean and not necessary for paper. Resist the urge to skip templates if you want consistent shapes. Don’t forget to plan drying space for all twenty bags.
What is on this list
You’ll need twenty plain kraft gift bags, eight natural wine corks, a craft knife, and a self-healing cutting mat. Printing requires washable block printing ink in four colors, a small ink brayer, and an acrylic inking plate. For design, bring a pencil and simple shape templates. Have paper towels, disposable gloves, and a drying rack on hand. Cross off anything you already own before shopping.
After the session
Let all stamped bags dry fully on the rack before stacking or packing them. Clean the brayer, inking plate, and cork stamps with warm water and dry them for future use. Safely store leftover ink and templates. Dispose of gloves and used paper towels. Check your craft knife and mat for wear before putting them away.
