How to make a rubber stamp?

[Former_Member]

Can anyone recommend a vendor/ supplier or a way on my own for me to turn my on designs into a rubber stamp? I am especially looking to turn my own calligraphy into a stamp for invitation purposes. (I'm working on a project for a friend's wedding!) Any ideas or suggestions?

I see all of the calligraphy artists here on Etsy doing this and selling their finished product for a reasonable price and wonder how they do this........ideas anyone?

Much appreciated!

making your own stamps is tons of fun but you have to work with a fairly simple pattern. here is a tutorial I like

I bought from these two sellers recently and highly recommend them! They're both really really nice and do GREAT work
