DECORA6pcs Round Wood Rubber Stamp for School Teachers English Toy Stamp

For my uses, I think these will work out very well. I do not intend to use these stamps with ink and paper. I intend to use them to imprint polymer and air-dry clays.I'm a miniaturist. I build dollhouses and dollhouse miniatures in various scales, from 1/144 to 1/12 scale. For a number of years I've been searching for small stamps that would be useful for impressing designs into clay. I think these are what I've been looking for.The six little stamps stand approximately 15/16" tall and are 1 1/8" in diameter. The actual stamp portions are of delightfully delicate designs that are in scale with some of my projects-in-the-works. Each stamp has a different design which is adhered to a round dowel (hardwood, I think) with double-sided self-adhesive foam pad to provide some give when stamping. The stamp designs remind me of old-fashioned crocheted doilies; very pretty and feminine looking.Due to the very small size of the stamp base, I suspect that using this product for long periods of time might result in hand cramps. For additional control in positioning the stamps and less risk of hand cramps, I'm considering purchasing unfinished wood finials or unfinished wooden drawer knobs to attach to the wood base to give something more meaty to grab onto when stamping. If I do follow through with this notion of giving the stamps handles, I think I'd try using a strong epoxy adhesive since using a screw to attach any kind of handle might be unfeasible.As other reviewers have noted, the stamps do appear to be a bit off center. Not a problem for me, but it could be for one attempting to stamp in ink with accuracy. Keep this lack in mind if you are planning to use these on a scrapbooking project.The six stamps come in a clear plastic, rather flimsy holding case that is useful for keeping the stamps together, though I doubt the case will survive for long with much handling.All in all, I'm pleased with my purchase and expect the stamps will fulfill my intended purpose. Yes, I would buy them again -- they are a steal at less than a buck a stamp (I paid $5.88 for the set) -- and would recommend them to others -- depending upon how they intend to use them.So, do consider these if you are looking for inexpensive, dainty stamps with lovely, old-fashioned designs.Incidentally, I have tested these stamps on scraps of polymer clay (don't we all save bits and pieces of poly clay?) and was very happy with the results. With air-dry clays being softer than polymer clay, I expect the impressions won't be as defined as it is in poly clay but would still be satisfactory depending on its intended use. (Think: Designs stamped into air-dry clay on exteriors of dollhouses or dollhouse cabinets = interesting and unique.) Use your imagination and have fun with these!

These are simple and cute rubber snowflake stamps. It was a fun way for my toddlers to be involved in decorating our Christmas gift packages.

These little art stamps from Decora were a steal and are such great quality. You get six different little lacy mandala like designs. They are great to add texture to the background of cards, note tags, and any other personal item. You can use any kind of ink you want. You can use a repeating pattern. Or you can just use a fraction of an individual as an accent. You get six seperate wood mounted stamps, each about the same diameter as a quarter. I'm happy I decided to add this little set to my card making kit. Great purchase! Totally worthwhile! They did take a while to come and I believe were shipped from China. But I wasn't in a hurry and they were worth the wait.

I'd buy again. Cute designs.

good stamp, but check size.

I've never really used stamps before but needed for a one time project. I used them on canvas and they worked great. Can't beat the price either! I highly recommend them. I could see using them to make my own wrapping paper too except I gave them to my daughter-in-law who does use stamps ;)

I like the stamps, they’re pretty and they work well, but when I opened them I noticed they have a nasty mildew smell. Not sure what causes this as I have smelled the same thing with new clothing and rugs typically made in India or Bangladesh, these say made in China. I’m hoping the smell will eventually go away because I do like the stamps. Not sure if washing them would help with the smell because the handles are wood.

Oh my goodness these snowflakes are so cute. They stamp nicely are easy to clean and have 6 different designs. I want to put snowflakes everywhere!!

The stamps are good. Good product

Pour ajouter une touche originale sur mon projet

Bonne qualité, impression ok. Un peu baveux pour les flocons épais si on fait à l'arrache.Biens collés, robustes et bonne prise en main.

Ich habe damit Muster auf Weihnachtsplätzchen gedrückt. Nicht ganz optimal, aber es war erkennbar

Not impressed.
