Hello today I bring you an upgraded version of Corky my stamping tool found here ( • DIY Stamping tool usin... ) Please subscribe and share and if you like this fabulous stamper give me a thumbs up :D Like the popular brand but cheaper to make it , this stamping tool is larger than the name brand one on the market today. Requires no magnets or metal sheet to make, You could even use cardboard or a piece of wood that fits the frame. I was still able to keep it all under $10 and I made it under 30 minutes.
I am going to fix the hidges better using Gorilla Glue so it has more longenvity, but other than that I am good to go :D It works great and does exactly what I need.
Any questions please feel free to drop me a comment below.
Materials used on this stamper:
1 picture frame 11 1/4 x 8 1/4
1 plexi glass sheet 8 x 10
duct tape
hot glue
exacto knife
1 cork board.

I know this is an old video, but where did you print your grid to that you referred to in your comments?
Online, i just googled accurate grid printable. ☺️
I LOVE how you used binder clips! That is a cheaper and more alternative to hinges. Ma shaa Allah! Keep up the great work!
This is a marvelous idea! Talking about saving money getting good results, this platform is it. Thank you for your gift of ingenuity and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words and I am happy it will help you 🙂
You just saved me $60! TY! I didn't do it exactly like you did. All that I needed was the top acrylic and instead of the glass, I placed another sheet of acrylic. Instead of taping/gluing, the acrylic was sturdy enough and yet thin enough to fit under the clamps. Perfect! I love DIY projects! Thanks again!
I learn much better with voice instructions, rather than music, which to me is distracting. But loved the concept. I never would have thought to use a picture frame. Ingenious.
This is the most practical thing I've seen to make stamping easier! Thanks!
Thank you 😄
Using the binder clips for hinges is brilliant!
Wonderful! I am going to try to make this today. I am also going to try to print out 2 grids on transparencies with laser printer. I will place 1 over cork and line up 1 on inside of plexi glass . I think this will work and make it even easier to keep things straight. Thanks for this great idea. Will let you know how this works out.
Thanks for sharing your DIY stamp positioner!
Exactly what I was looking for. I'll make this with my added touches. Wonderfully inspiring. Thank you!!!!
awesome job!
Well, Well, Well, here I was looking for information on making my own stamping tool, and who shows up from 3 years ago!!! HOLA CARMEN🦋Cool.
Thank you so much for stopping by :D I appreciate the support :D
This is ingenious! I'm so impressed! It would have been better with a voice but this is excellent! Thank you so much!!
Resourceful & inventive.
Thanks for the picture frame trick
Very creative! Thanks for sharing.
Great demonstrating & makes it look easy!
it really is that easy, :D just cut your pieces to size and add your clips and plexi and that is it :D very fast very easy :D You can use foam board as I did or a piece of wood, or the backing of the frame, just add another peice of cardboard to give it more strength, hot glue the bottom and you are all done.
Thank you, have to go to my craft shop tomorrow

GREAT TUTORIAL GREAT IDEA. THANKS FOR SHARING. GOD BLESS HUGS...
Awesome job!
Really great job...thank you.x
Exc. video.I suggest using E6000 n opening a window.(It stinks...really)Great grabbing power n I believe that you won't have any problems with durability.Also you cn use decorative Duck©Tape over or instead of silver Duck©Tape.Hope this helps
Thanks for watching, and what I did is I used metallic lustre and did a paint over job on the while thing and I love how it looks now :D and I will def keep in mind to get that glue, so far I used crazy glue and it is holding, fingers crossed so far holding strong :D
Awesome! I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Corky was so easy to put together and still holding up great :D
That's great...can't wait to make my own. =)
I hope you make a video would love to see it :D
Thank you!!
my original is made with picture frame binder clips and plastic clipboard lol yours looks nice. works like a misting and that's what matters.
Yes it works awesome although I am going to crazy glue the clips down for a better fit and to help it last longer, but other than that works great, thanks for stopping by, glad the other video was helpful and good idea using a plastic clipboard. :D
Ingenious!
Go girl! Brilliant! Thanks :-)
Very cool, tfs!
Thanks for watching :D
Loved video live in sa and have a craft shop that is stealing from their customers first quote was bad enough but by the time it came into the shop (scrap-a-doodles pretoria) it went up by R100 + its now over R800.if they r doing that on one thing what else are they overcharging their customets has some lively stuff but wont b back thanks again for ur video off to shops luv from grannyjean sa
Hyblady you inspires me to make a stamping tool! Again thank you for this video! She's me lots of money lol
Awesome luv :D I still have mine working perfectly :D it is a big money saver and very resourceful :D
I'm confused because when I try to put the handle of the binder clip on the outside of the acrylic sheet, the sheet doesn't lay flat, it sticks up. It only lays flat if I put the acrylic on top of the handle of the binder clip.
Hello, for me I laid it in from the back of the frame, it can also be your clips make sure they are flat , you might have to make some adjustments.
What a great idea, thanks for making the video. Can you only use the clear stamps with it or will the rubber backed ones work too?
hello, so far as long it is clings it will stick, I haven't tried it on bare rubber as yet, but if your stamp has a "sticky" baking it will work
Fantastic!
But personally I would have lined the cork out of the frame
Lined it?
Great video, thanks for sharing. One suggestion: add a thin strip all the way across the long side under the clips to allow the plexiglas to lay flatter. Just clip all three layers, the cardboard, the cork, and the strip. What do you think?
Thsnks for watching and sounds like a good idea, I will keep that in mind, so far I fixed that issue using foam tape, you can see it in my latest video the DIY washi tape I used corky there, I kind of heat setted each clip into the foam so the sheet lays flat and the slight height issue is ammended. :D so far so good :D
Sorry, can you explain this extra strip to me please, I don't understand. I think your video is fantastic, I've wanted a misti for a while, but they are not stocked here in Ireland and to buy from the US is almost $100 and the postage is nearly the same. Thank you sooooo much for sharing your fabulous idea and saving me such a lot of money xxxxx
The strip is not needed if your plexi glass closes down all the way. once your clips are added. If there is a space that does not allow your plexi glass door to come closed all the way, then you can add a foam strip along that area to assist in it closing all the way,That will depend on the picture frame you use and the clips used to make this tool.
You did a great job (music not so much-but your creativity!)!! Just don't let the woman who created the almighty stamping tool find your video-I have read she will threaten you! GREAT JOB! I CAN'T BELIEVE HER GREED!
EVERYone ought to get credit when they come up with a functional mouse trap,
but when somebody ELSE comes up with a better one, it IS rather disheartening when the inventor of the better one gets slapped down. #$%^&!! We'd all STILL be cooking over an open fire and pounding our clothes on rocks if innovation was
beat down way back when!!!
Don't you need something behind the frame backing to take up the space between the table surface and the frame edges? It looks like this my have the potential of the backing being pushed off.
I Hot glued the boards on the back of the frame and so far is is sturdy and it has not fallen apart on me once, and I actually put some pressure on the plexi when I stamp and it has held up very nice so far..
Great idea. I made one very similar with a picture frame. I had a hard time finding the plexi. I ended up cutting the plastic from a poster frame, but it is very thin. Can I ask where you got your plexi? Thanks
Yes :D thanks for watching I ordered mine on ebay I paid like $5 for an 8 by 10 and 1/16th of an inch thick :D
Thanks!
omg I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! your such an inspiration!!! OK stupid question where can I find plexy glass at the size I need for this project please? TFS beautiful!!
Sadly, UNLESS this person has another source (???) -- the Plexi -- AND the saw blade to cut it!! -- was the biggest expense of my DIY stamper!! For some reason, even the Dollar Tree's picture frames actually have GLASS in them, so no end-run on that facet of the project. It ended up costing me AS MUCH (or more?) than a Misti!! But it was a fun bonding project for me and my fella. AND when I found a Stamperatus on line, I didn't feel quite so guilty about "moving up". But, in truth, I still grab our "homemade" one for most projects!
@@amkarei you can get someone at Loews or Home Depot or any place like this to cut a piece to your size requirements. Most likely you will have to pay for a whole piece, but it is still much cheaper than manufactured items on the market.
@@lorirobinson7357 That's good to know, as I may have a friend who'd be interested in starting this craft on a v-e-r-y limited basis as funds are extremely tight.
Hi, how thick is the cork board? I have some but I don't know if it is thick enough. Thanks!!!
I'm only kibitzing cuz it seems she didn't respond. The thicknesses would depend totally on the depth of your picture frame. You'll have to play with it.
I need to make one of these! What stamp set are you using in the video?
The brand is Autumn Leaves and it is Flowers by Anonna Farrer
How long did you let the hot glue/duct tap cure before actually using the Corky 2.0?
about a 1/2 hour then it was good to go.
Thank you
Thanks for the picture frame trick but music very boring,
Copy that, thanks for watching :D
Sorry , most annoying music ever . I do know I can mute but ...
