I have seen these paper tube projects on pinterest and was inspired to make a stamping tool for gelatin printing.
So simple to make and yet I am thinking they will create a lovely delicate mark in the ink on the gelatin plate.
- I used just one small tube and
- cut it into 1/2 ovals.
- I use the paper cutter to cut them evenly
- Then I used the hot glue gun
- to hold them all together.
- I tried not to get globs of glue on the bottom
- because those globs will print.
I did not have time today to try out my new printing tool but I will this week and then share some images with you.
If you have already printed with this tool and a picture then share them with the gelatin printmaking flickr group.
If you are interested in a gelatin printmaking workshop with me, then please check out the schedule here. I keep the classes small so you get the most from you gelatin print class.
Oooohhhh, love that idea :). I can’t wait to see your results!
Stay inspired!
So cool!!!
wonderful idea!! I am just curious why the hot glue gun?! [clearly I neither have one nor have used one BEfore so mayBE it is just lack of experience, but I’d love your thoughts]
I have been noticing some interesting things to use from stuff I’d usually never think twice about. love this idea as it sparks my imagination.
also, wish I could come to your workshop… you DO seem to have a LOT of fun and I am much better learning whilst DOing and SEEing LIVE HOW things work. so glad Terrie @ Creative Explorer “introduced” me to you!!
enJOY!!
Hi Currie, I am glad you are here too. Hot glue just because it is fast drying and then I can stamp right away. You could use any kind of glue that holds or the you already have on hand. Good question.
Happy Making!

Great inspiration! Can’t wait to create a few of these to try in my next printing session.
