Step 1
Select a wine cork with a smooth, flat end. Clean it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before use.

Step 2
Place a button on the end of the cork, then trace around the outside edge and mark all four center dots.

Step 3
Use a stamp carving tool with a #1 (small v) tip to carefully carve around the outside line that you traced in step 2.

Carve in short, careful gouges, tapping out the excess cork as you go.

Step 4
Use a tailor’s awl to punch out the center holes of the button, then use the awl as needed to clean up the edge that you carved in step 3.

Step 5
Grab your favorite stamp pad and apply a heavy layer of ink to the cork stamp. To print, press the inked stamp down firmly onto a piece of paper, rocking it slightly from side to side.

To make incomplete or shabby-looking prints, apply less ink to the stamp.

Note: If you’re using block printing ink, apply the usual thin layer of ink to the carved surface of the stamp before printing.

Cheers, boozy crafters!
