DIY Stamps for Gelli ™ Printing: How to create the perfect organic Distress + Grunge Stamp!

Today we are having some fun in the studio making our own DIY stamps! This is an easy technique that can be done on the fly in your studio. You just need a glue gun, glue sticks and a piece of cardboard (old amazon boxse work like a charm!) I love making these DIY stamps because the shapes are very organic and are perfect for the added touch of distress and grunge to our gelli printing. They add a unique element to my collage papers that you just won't find in store bought stamps. These stamps as the perfect mark making element for backgrounds or as the final layer! Enjoy!

GLUE GUN STAMPS Thank you for all the tips and tricks.

[@clearfitness1954]

i only just found you in 2023 after my interest in gel plate prints. wow youve been teaching and sharing over 5 years!! so i am enjoying and learning from your 100s of videos. just want to say thank you for sharing so much. i like this glue gun stencil making. you can also have a glue stencil that is not adhered to the cardboard and lay it directly on paper then spritz spray the paint over the stencil while its on the print paper.. when you lift the stencil you have a negative of the stencil on the print. im also now going to utilize your way now too bc it gives a different effect. ❤ thanks always.

Robyn, I so enjoyed this session! Great ideas! All three were lovely but The last paper was so yummy! I’ve loved everything you do and I have been with you for almost 3 years! I too have been a gallery artist but since pandemic (praying the worst is OVER) I have been doing more collage, and mixed media on a smaller level. You are an inspiration and I wish you continued success! Marsha in Virginia 🥰

[@sarahlangdon7415]

Love this idea! Can’t wait to make some of my own “glue gun stamps” thanks for sharing !

[@lisawelker1166]

I did a whole unit on Gelli printing with my high school student this year, but I am really excited to incorporate many of the techniques, tools, and media you have shared in these videos next year. Can't wait to challenge the kids to create their own Glue Gun Stamps.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Aww! Thanks so much for sharing that! Having worked in the school system as a K-12 art teacher myself that warms my heart! :)

[@pooie0116]

I discovered your channel about a week ago and I am absolutely enamored and obsessed with your style and techniques. Thank you so much for sharing your process! ❤

[@apaxicana]

Thanks so much, Robyn, I am home with my granddaughters and we did a lot of painting and Gelli printing today. They did a cute "art exhibit" which I put up on IG. This is also something that would be fun to do with them this summer. (Supervised of course.) Fun, fun, fun. 💖

Never heard of glassine paper. It makes things look shiny?

[@cherylling8272]

Glue gun stamps! I have a question about brayers - hard or soft? Thanks Robyn

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thank you! i've used both types and I prefer soft, I find that the soft brayers connect better with the plate and creates a smoother roll out of the paint with less brayer lines. With that said, both work!

[@cherylling8272]

@@RobynMcClendon thanks :)

[@neorachana5604]

Some of the first tools I made for my gel plate were glue gun stamps.

You have made this cost of effective for me because I am a senior on a small income as you know the stencils … are very costly
