Toilet paper roll stamp, bee craft!

Toilet paper roll stamp bee

How cute is this toilet paper roll tamp of a bee? It’s no surprise that we love to craft with paper rolls. But did you know that paper rolls are also perfect for stamping? You can make so many cool designs with a simple paper roll, like these bee stamps, for example. You can turn them into cute greeting cards, birthday cards, or invitations. The perfect way to wish someone a bee-autiful or a bee-lightful day! 

We used a toilet paper roll for the wings, and for the body, we used a paper roll that was slightly bigger than a regular toilet paper roll. But you can also use a regular paper roll or a lid (yes, plastic lids are perfect for stamping too).

Craft supplies for toilet paper roll stamp

• Paper roll, or round lid
• Paint, we used paint from Amsterdam Acrylics
• White cardstock, preferably a bit thicker
• Black marker
• Watercolors
• Scissor
• Glue
• Sponge or brush to apply paint

Step by step instructions 

Step 1: Take your paper roll and cut off three rings from about 1 inch. Make sure you cut in a straight line otherwise your stamp will be uneven. For the body of the bee you can also use a paper roll or plastic lid that is slightly bigger in size. For the wings is a TP-roll perfect because you can bend it easily. 

Step 2: To create the wings fold your paper roll ring in a heart shape. Push it flat in the middle and fold the left and right side up. 

Step 3: Take your glue, preferably strong glue. And glue both wings on the right and left side of the body. Glue it on top of a flat surface because it’s very important that the wings and body are exactly leveled, otherwise your stamp won’t work. 

Step 4: When the wings are fully dry. Take some black paint and cover one side of the paper roll with black paint. I recommend using a sponge to apply the paint so it’s easy to apply and control.

Step 5: Make your bee stamp on a paper sheet. Make sure you slightly push the stamp to get a perfect print. 

Step 6: When your bee print is fully dry you can color it with watercolors. 

Step 7: Wait for the watercolors to dry and add with a black sharpie or fine liner some stripes on the body and a cute face. To make it extra fun, give your bees different expressions and add a silly bee-text.
