I like making stamps and other things like that. And I also like the Instructables Robot. So here's an Instructable Robot stamp!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: What You Need
- Craft foam
- Glue
- Scissors
- Juice bottle cap or something similar
- Pen
- Paint
- Paintbrush
Step 2: Draw the Robot Onto Some Craft Foam
Don't make it too small otherwise it will be very hard to cut it out and cut put the holes.
Mine looks kind of weird but he'll do. I'll cut the legs to look better. He is being compared to a quarter here.
Step 3: Cut Him Out
Take your scissors and cut him out. Then cut out the eyes and the buttons and stuff on him.
Step 4: Glue
Now flip him over and put some glue on the back. Flip him over and put him on the juice lid.
Step 5: Getting Ready to Stamp
Take your paintbrush and put a good amount of yellow paint on the stamp (except for the wheels and ear-like thingies, put black on the wheels and red on the ear-like thingies), being careful not to over-do it. If the paint gets where you don't want it to be just wipe it off with a paper towel.
Step 6: Stamping
Put it on whatever you want to robotify and press down firmly. Don't press too hard or too lightly or else it will not look good.
Step 7: The End
Now you're done! You can also use this method to make different kinds of stamps. If you make any stamps I'd like to see them!

How funny! Maybe next time you could make one that's super-detailed on a larger piece of foam. Then you can stamp giant robots everywhere!

Hehehe, nice job! Very cute. :D I will probably try this, but maybe do every single one in each contest... like the Launch It, Scientist (with Amazon), Share the Love, whatever, they will all look so cool. Great job, +1 rating. (added to favorites)
