Recipe for Rubber Stamp Cleaner

   Good morning everyone,

 Those of you that use rubber stamps do you get frustrated with those small stamp cleaner bottles?

   I have tried numerous brands over the years, and I have not found one cleaner bottle where the little fabric piece on top does not tear off-almost immediately. Very frustrating for me.

  So awhile back I looked online for options. I found a stamp cleaning set up that was a tray and a scrubber, but at my age especially I didn't want to get that "sophisticated" I guess smiles.

   I got to thinking "our" Elizabeth makes allot of things for her crafts instead of buying them so I looked for recipes-and found several videos and recipes to make your own cleaner.

  I decided on a recipe, bought a spray bottle and now I am all set-and it works great.

I couldn't find the baby shampoo in a very small bottle so I used Dawn dish soap-Dawn is awesome for everything it seems and is gentle too

    Baby shampoo-1 teaspoon

   Glycerin-2 tablespoons

   Distilled water-enough to almost fill an 8 ounce bottle.

I didn't find a small spray bottle in my near by stores so I just picked up a large one and doubled the recipe-it works great for cleaning my stamps.

    This price sticker on this bottle was super sticky and wouldn't come off so I just put some masking tape over it

This is my bottle that I am working on getting used up (no more fabric cover on top) if I could have gotten the top off I would have just added it to my above bottle

 

Since I filled up my journal book, I grabbed this German cookbook to use next for the AJJ challenges. I loved the name from the previous owner-my Mom's name was Altha and her Mom's name was Ada and Grandma's parents were from Germany- So I think this is a good choice

I have been working in spiral cookbooks, so will see how this one works out

This cook book measures 6" x 9" so a good size for AJJ

Happy Thursday
