#1
Begin by cutting large shapes from your double layer of foam. To gauge your size, test that your shapes will wrap the rolling pin, without overlapping (but don’t remove the protective paper just yet!)
#2
Once you have some shapes with which you’re happy, use a ballpoint pen to draw into the foam with enough pressure so that you’re creating recessed lines and shapes.
#3
Adhere your textured shapes to the rolling pin.
#4
Spread your paint on the cardboard, ink up your rolling pin stamp, and print away! We love layering several different designs on top of one another for a dynamic print with varied shapes, sizes, and colors!
