Love your idea, I would put some fun foam in the lid to make your round foam stand out just a little more. Just get a circle die about the same size as your foam applicator.

The circle die may also be of value in trimming the label if anyone has issues with the overhang.

Wonderful idea! I made these exactly the way Kathya demonstrated and I ran into a problem after about a month. The velcro came off the foam because of the moisture in the jars. If anyone has any ideas of how to solve this I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts! I have pealed off the velcro and I am looking for a glue that will stick in water so I can reattach the foam to the lids. Kathya responded with a suggestion to try hot glue to reattach the foam to the lids! What a clever lady!!! It's working! Thank you so much Kathya! I appreciate you and your clever ideas!!!

Great idea, especially if one already has the reinkers and desires custom colors, but I would have liked to see you use these on an actual stamping project, and also give an approximate total cost per pad in comparison to some of the mini ink pads already on the market.
@KathyaKalinine2 жыл бұрын
I hear you. I didn’t even think of the cost comparison. I was coming from a standpoint of being able to take all these mini ink pads on the go instead of large bulky ink pads. I know they’re less expensive due to the mini jars being very cost savings and reinkers being less expensive than an ink pad. I suppose it might be easy to calculate the cost, depending on what ink pad brands are your favorite. I will use them in an upcoming video. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

What a great way to create a collection of inkpads that are easy to store! I live in the southwest USA which is hot and DRY. I now only buy inkpads that offer reinkers. I am also limited in space to store them. You can buy a few reinkers from various brands and make these mini pads to decide what, or if, you want to commit further. I have put the jars in my Amazon list because this solution is better than the DIY I tried before. Thanks for a great idea!
@KathyaKalinine3 жыл бұрын
You’re very welcome! I have learned over time, too, that when your ink pad dies up, the ink remains but the ‘fluid’-the carrier of the ink-evaporates. So, I started buying ink refresher. Instead of re-inkers. I haven’t tried the re-inker refresher on my CP inks yet, but I plan to try it because the properties are similar to distress inks. Thanks for watching! ♥️

@@KathyaKalinine for my first 10 years of card making all of my ink pads were secondhand fines at garage sales etc, and I kept them going with the DIY ink pad refresher! The frugal Crafter impressed me early on with her money saving ideas and she had the refresher recipe of distilled water, glycerin, and a little alcohol. It worked great but I really use those ink pads up and as my arthritis got worse they were difficult to use because they were rangers felt pads. I ended up buying the entire set of Concord and 9th cubes and a set of reinkers for them. I built my own ink pad storage with phone core board and made little drawers for that set of inks and I can put four cubes in the space of one full size ink pad. It was a must do because I only have so much space in my craft room. It's already tight in there. Where there's a will there's a way.

Will the color get into the crevices it's not supposed to? Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi Abigail! The domes are not super soft, so that helps. I haven’t used them on very large stamps-just smaller areas without big dips in the stamp, so to speak. I haven’t used these mini custom ink pads in about 3 months but I just opened some a couple weeks ago and they’re still juicy. I suppose it just depends on how much you saturate the little domes.

You may have just used too much ink on the little pads. You could make some colored card stock by removing some of the excess ink and die cut shapes from them.
