Use a ballpoint pen and a ruler to mark a 2x2" grid on a sheet of 12x12" Soft-Kut Material. Use scissors or a craft knife to cut apart the 36 block print stamps.
Step 2
With a Sharpie, draw a design on one of the stamps.
Step 3
Cut out the spaces around the design with Speedball Linozips.
Step 4
Roll out 1 color of block printing ink with a brayer and ink your stamp.
