Of all the sentimental things that people have, none hold such a place in a person’s heart like the ones made by hand. The Rubber Stamping class at the library this month is one that will teach you how to make such hand crafted items. It’s simple yet artistic: just stamp an image, add color with stamp pads, colored pencils, markers or chalk and assemble into handmade projects.
