Nail stamping is the art of using etched metal stamping plates to create designs on nails. You can create some truly amazing designs that would be otherwise impossible to do by hand. For the design below I did a light green base coat and stamped the blue argyle over it. Super simple and it came out clean and (fairly) neat! Forgive the smudges, this was my first time stamping!

The problem with stamping is that there’s only a few designs on each plate, so they can be sort of cumbersome to store. My solution? A Dollar Tree photo album modified to be able to hold all my stamping supplies! And I’m gonna show you how to make one yourself.

Materials:

Flimsy plastic photo album

Double-sided tape

Something triangular shaped that tape won’t stick too strongly to (I used a stiletto dagger)

Elastic scraps

Needle and thread
