Wondering how I stamped this small metal bucket? I chose a clear stamp (they are more flexible) that had a simple design (spider web) & several tiny stamps - a bat, a spider, and "boo". I had a thick (about 1/2") foam stamping mat that was much larger than it needed to be so I cut a piece of it to create a foam "block". Using repositionable tape I adhered the spider web stamp to the foam block. The foam block was flexible so that I could conform it to the curve of the bucket. I used Staz-On ink which will dry on metal or glass. When stamping on a slick surface the stamp can easily slide so just keep your stamp as steady as possible as you stamp. I used an acrylic block for the small stamps & it was fairly easy. I did need to rock the images slightly (from left to right since I am right handed) to get the entire design on the curved bucket. Keep in mind you will not get a perfectly stamped image - there will be some sliding + rocking it does not mean you will get the entire image stamped but for this type of design it did not matter at all. It still turned out soooo cute! It will take some practice so start out small & learn as you go - besides, you can always decoupage the bucket with paper or paint it completely if you totally mess it up. I did avoid stamping over the ridges in the bucket - that is where the ribbon came in handy. Add a cute little tag and you have a great little treat bucket for your little ghosts and gobblins or for friends & co-workers!
