BushcraftZ 2014

Materials:

  • Linolium or large eraser (at least 6.5 cm x 10 cm)
  • Lino carving tools
  • Cardstock
  • Inkpad
  • One wooden peg for each bunny
  • Ribbon or string for the bunting
  • Craft glue, scissors, pencil and carbon paper
  • Download bunny pattern


Method:
  1. Transfer the pattern onto the linoleum or eraser.
  2. Use carving tools to carve away all white areas as indicated on the pattern and the area surrounding the bunny.  Ink the stamp and stamp a trial to determine if there are certain areas that need more carving or cleaner lines. Continue to carve until you achieve a clean stamp pattern. For the linoleum stamp one can cut away the background around the bunny.
