- Liquitex BASICS Flat Brush
- Sturdy box (approximately 6x4x2)
- 12-15 medium-thickness rubber bands

DIRECTIONS:
- To create this stamp, take 12-15 rubber bands and wrap them around the shorter side of the box.
- Paint one of the narrow sides of the box with the blue color (or any other color of your choice).
- Press the painted side of the box against the fabric or surface of your choice to create an impression. Continue stamping with this color until you've reached your desired pattern.
- Paint the opposite side of the box with the yellow color (or any other color of your choice) and press that side of the box against your fabric or surface to create your desired pattern.
- Patterns can be random or symmetrical, and layered in whatever order you like for the type of effect you wish to achieve.
