Turn Old Stamps into Photo or Business Card Holders

I love it when vintage pieces can be repurposed into something new and useful.  I also love alternatives to traditional picture frames.  I spotted this clever Rubber Stamp Junk Project on Junk Camp.  Self-proclaimed junker, Ki, collects vintage rubber stamps and decided to turn a few of them into photo holders.  It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

These photo holders would be great decor in a home office.  Use them to display photos, business cards, important notes, or recipe cards.  They would also make a great gift.  All you need is a stamp with a nice wooden handle, a little glue, and some wire.

1. Remove rubber from bottom of stamp.
2. Drill two holes in top of handle.
3. Shape wire and insert into holes.
