Making your own letter stamps is easy and all it requires are a few materials. Rubber stamps are used in so many ways! You may use them to seal letters, monogram your favourite things, and so much more. The earliest printing press used a mechanism where keys were pressed to imprint letters on a page. This process made it easier than handwriting each of the pages! So, go ahead and check out the inventor letter stamp activity video to make your own stamps.
