Paper casting has been around for a long while, but I am new to its world. However, I love it! It is a quick and easy process but the results are wonderful. All you need are the rubber stamps, a few squares of toilet paper, water and a dish towel!

How to make paper casting ornaments
prep time: 5 Mperform time: 24 hourtotal time: 24 H & 5 M
materials:
- Toilet Tissue
- mold or rubber stamp
- small container of water
- dishtowel
tools:
- no special tools needed
steps:
- 1. Tear off 5-6 squares of toilet paper.
- 2. Line up the squares.
- 3. Lay tissue on top of the mold or stamp (you want the side that you ink)
- 4. Gently pour water over the tissue. The idea is to wet the tissue until it sinks into the mold or stamp.
- 5. Using dishtowel, gently blot excess moisture.
- 6. Let dry overnight.
- 7. Gently peel the dried tissue from the mold.
- 8. Trim the ornament with scissors.
- 9. Punch a hole and thread with a bit of string or ribbon.
- 10. Decorate if desired, using paints, inks, etc but use a very dry brush as to not wet the ornament and lose the shape.

These are cute! I would never have thought that you could wet toilet tissue and make anything from it. If I had rubber stamps, I might try this.
