You need fun foam figures (you can buy precut figures at a craft store or you can create your own out of fun foam sheets) and you also need left over pieces of thick wood and a glue that is designated for gluing fun foam. 2. Place glue on the backside of the fun foam motif. 3. Turn the motif around and press firmly onto the piece of wood. Let it dry before continuing. 4. Create as many blocks as you like. With them you can also not only decorate wrapping paper, but also you can create gift cards. 5. You will now need paint, paint brush and your stamp. 6. Brush an even and thin coat of paint on the foam. Turn the motif over and press firmly and evenly onto the paper. 7. Lift your stamp and the motif is now printed onto the paper. Repeat step 6 again as often as you wish until your paper is full. You can add effects like dots or such as well. 8. This is an example of a finished sheet. The stamps are reusable. Wash them with warm water when finished and let them dry.
