MINI STAMPS ARE SO MUCH FUN!

But they can be a pain because they dry out so easily.

(SOMETIMES THEY ARE DRIED OUT WHEN YOU OPEN THEM!) 😟

Other times the lids are tough to fit on the right way… there are tons of reasons these little guys dry out quickly.

What do I do with these dried out stamps?

BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE!

This is such an easy fix and there’s a BONUS… you can recycle old dried out markers in the process! (Yay recycling!) 🌎💙

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:

First, you just put your old dried out markers in a cup with a little bit of water.

**This is how you ensure the stamps will be WASHABLE!

** (You can also use one drop of food coloring or water color paint mixed with a little water, but be careful with this method, because they will stain!)

Then, you just use a small pipette to put a few drops onto the dried out stamp.

Here’s a video to see the whole process:

It’s super easy and when they dry out again, you just add a few more drops.

Stamps are so much more fun when the colors are vibrant!

Here’s another video showing the Food Coloring Method.

(I tried this one first but some of you pointed out that food coloring will stain, so I improved the method by using dried out washable markers!)

Depending on what colors you have available, you can change the colors of the stamps to be, not just bright— but new and different!

Hope you’ve enjoyed this simple tip!

Happy Stamping!
