soramame stamp ink
I made my original rubber stamps, but never used…
Last week when I went to muji, the shop gave me tiny bags for freebie.
Soramame stamp ink can use for paper, cloth, leather and terra-cotta.
It’s a chance for DIY freebie bag!
Put the stamp, dry some time, and iron it.
It’s really easy and fun!
