Stamping on dominos

[bccherron3]

may soundlike a dumb question, but how do you stamp on dominos?[Special ink? Sealer?What do you use for color? Do any dominos work? other tips...]
Thanks :P

Hi. The dominoes I got were from Walmart in the travel games section. They are white on the back and sort of shiny. They have different size tins, and are about $6. I sanded the back of them lightly and stamped them with Stazon, and then if they needed any extra coloring, I used Sharpies. They don't need to be baked or sprayed or anything like that. They come out pretty nicely as is. Hope this helps!

I also use staz on inks and sharpies...but I do seal them with sealant spray of fixatif. make sure that you do light coats of multiple layers for sealant so the ink doesn't run

oh...i also use paint pens, usually in metallic, to outline the edges of the domino for a finished look.

dremels work great for drilling little holes to fit jump rings, etc....i bought the tool for my DH long ago but I think I use it more thatn he does!!

I soaked mine in bleach overnight and then stamped on them with our new chalk inks. Worked like a charm.

Hey Beate...
Did you have to seal them? How 'bout sanding? I love the chalk inks.....I am going to try this tonight!!!!

I didn't seal nor sand them. Just heat set them with my heat gun. I used the EE chalks. I have to scan it in. Just didn't find a use for it yet. LOL

I attached a link to a 3 page thread we had regarding stamping on domino's. The thread pretty much covers everything regarding dominos. HTH

I love making domino pins, etc. I do them the same as everyone else- sand, staz-on, sharpies, but I usually add a little CE over top and sprinkle in a little glitter, just for that exta glitz. It looks great, especially for Christmas designs and snowmen.
