Who this list is for
This list is for a 12-year-old who wants handmade letter stamps for cards, labels, and journals. Each air-dry clay stamp needs to dry fully before it is used.
How to use this list
Use the alphabet letter guide sheet to plan all 26 letters. Roll air-dry clay on the silicone clay mat with the small rolling pin, then form stamp faces with wooden clay modeling tools. Attach finished clay letter faces to the wooden cube blocks with strong craft glue only after the clay is dry. Smooth rough spots with fine-grit sandpaper, then apply water-based clear sealer with the small paintbrush.
Common mistakes
Do not rush the drying stage or glue damp clay to the cube blocks. Keep letters reversed on the stamp face so they print the right way around. Avoid overly thin clay faces, which can bend or crack before sealing.
What is on this list
The list includes one pound of air-dry clay, a silicone clay mat, alphabet guide, wooden modeling tools, rolling pin, 26 wooden cube blocks, strong craft glue, sandpaper, water-based clear sealer, and a small paintbrush. Cross off items you already own, but count the cube blocks before starting the alphabet.
When you are done
Let the sealer dry completely before testing a stamp on a scrap card or journal page. Store the finished stamps in alphabet order so the full set is easy to find for future cards, labels, and journals.
