make foam stamps from old mousemats

Step 3Cut and peel

cut and peel
cut all the way around the lines
peel paper away from foam that is to be removed (negative spaces in the stencil, not painted bits)
using your nails or the knife to make a start, carefully pull out the foam from this area, you may have to go over some of your cuts again to make this easier and prevent ripping.
cut the mousemat down to the size of your image, (you can cut the outline with scissors around the shape or do as i have done and leave some excess plastic-peeling away any extra foam)
peel off remaining paper.
