Directions
First, gather all the cut pieces.
Now, assemble the handle by simply slotting the two handle cuts together.
Then you will choose which bottom plates fit the size of the stamp you would like to do. If necessary, you can always make your own. A little bit of wood glue should be added to make your handle nice and rigid.
Now that the handle is finished, we can move to your rubber stamp. Scale your design to fit on one of the bottom plates or create your own.
After engraving the rubber stamp material, you can clean the material with a brush and water.
Then cut out the rubber stamp and glue it to your handle.
Done!
