My friend wanted me to print out some coasters to hand out during his performances (he often performs in bars).
At first I said, “It takes to long to print out a single coaster, and wood would be expensive.” Then I thought, “Wait, I can just make a coaster stamp.” So, I did.
The old-timey, worn look is part of his branding. This project was super fun.
These look really great! The stamped look really makes these unique - more than if you had taken all the time to laser each one. Wonderful use of having the Glowforge make a tool to complete a job, rather than do the entire job itself.
Great idea! And thanks for the links! The screen printer that sends me a lot of decal jobs to print for them has a lot of bars as customers. I sense some up-selling coming soon.
Oh wow, it came out great! The perfect solution to mass production. He could use it on t-shirts as well!
You don’t really need a stamp pad as large as your item. I typically use stamp pads that are only about 1.5" square. Just dab it all over the stamp until the surface is evenly inked.
Fabulous design for a coaster! Can’t wait to see you do it.
i like this, my one suggestion is to work on the balance of your middle ribbon; things are a little off-center there…could probably just lose the period on the end of BROS. to balance that, too.
