Tangram Condom Stamps Diy!

A Tangram is a Chinese dissection puzzle consisting of seven apartment shapes.
They all lucifer perfectly inwards i square.
My dad is a Mathematician. He collects "smart games".
He loves all sorts of thinking games, puzzles together with riddles.
So I grew upwardly putting tangrams together.
You tin fifty-fifty brand all sorts of things amongst the pieces...animals, people, things!

Since geometric anything is all the rage, I though it would last fun to brand a
Rubber Stamp Tangram together with brand cards!

This would last hence fun to brand for a instructor appreciation gift--A petty stack of cards together with only about envelopes wrapped inwards twine!

Or only to ship individual a grin inwards the mail!

Here's the Tangram.
There's a cool website that explains it all here.

Begin past times cutting a 1 1/2" foursquare of paper together with brand all the
folds together with cuts for the Tangram.

Then describe the paper pattern onto the pinkish carving rubber.
Brace the lines amongst a ruler together with brand the cutting amongst a hobby knife.

Just similar so.

There's hence many fun designs...
But to acquire you lot started, experience gratis to relieve off this film to role every bit a reference.

Here's only about other selection when making the tangram stamps:

I purchase safe stamps all the fourth dimension amongst cling dorsum mounting foam on them.

They come upwardly inwards a canvas together with you lot pare the stamps out of them.

This leaves a chip of wasted rubber...so I only set out my Tangram pieces

together with traced them on wherever they lucifer on the rubber!

Then cutting them out amongst safe postage stamp scissors.

They don't lucifer together quite every bit nicely every bit the i cutting from a unmarried square...
but they are easier to role amongst the cling back...and nevertheless brand the same adorable shapes!

Just conform them,

However you lot want...

Press inwards ink...or, if you lot don't convey ink pads...use Crayola markers!

Press onto paper!
