Hi
anyone know anything about getting a handle made for a home made stamp (and rough cost), I know there is a topic about this below but the link to the website doesn't seem to work....
Alternatively is there a simple way to make a handle of some sort yourself?

Never had a 'handle' for any of my stamps - use sheet perspex or plastic (NOT Acrylic!) of any sort (eg: drainpipe, guttering, shower screens as a 'backing' to the rubber stamp.This gives it strength but also flexibility. I use a cheap superglue (from Tesco) to attach the rubber to the backing after lightly sanding the backing to 'etch' the surface. Not had a stamp off its backing yet!
Point to notice - a handle on a stamp can take up a lot of space in a pill pot or container!
