What kind of craft and decor projects can I do with the IOD Crockery Stamp?
The better question is what CAN’T you do with this decor stamp? In this post, you’ll learn how to make your own English advertising pots, DIY candle labels, and vintage milk bottles. You could also use it to make coasters, serving trays, and adorable flower pots… AND gorgeous cookies (yes, IOD stamps are food-safe).
Make Your Own Old English Advertising Pots with Upcycled or Thrifted Finds
We love all things old and vintage, but sometimes real deal antiques are expensive. That’s why we like to make our own and you can too!
All you need are some clean, empty food containers or junky thrift store dishware. You can even use these techniques to makeover some of your existing kitchenware, like mugs or ramekins.
There are two ways to go about making your own English advertising pots and we’re going to share both. The first is stamping with ink and the second is using the stamp to create an impression in air dry clay.
Stamping with Ink
In this first technique, you’ll get finished pieces that have a smooth and refined finish because you’re stamping directly onto the project surface.
To make these pots, you use two different IOD stamps, the Crockery stamp and the Craquelure stamp, IOD ink in black and some antiquing paint techniques to create that authentic, aged look.
Stamping on Air Dry Clay to Create an Impression
This technique gives more of a handmade, homestead feel to your DIY crockery and the details of the stamps are revealed through antiquing techniques.
To get this look, roll out a small piece of IOD air dry clay and glue it to the outside of your container. Then use the Crockery stamp to make an impression in the clay.
After allowing it to dry, you paint and use antiquing techniques to highlight all the nooks and crannies, which gives your piece an authentic, old-world look.
