The acrylic pieces were $3.25 cut to size. The hinge was $3.50 cut to size. The acrylic cement and applicator was $10.30. Works OK with 1 shim for reds and 2 shims for clear.
Good for you Don! With all the drama in the environment and the claims of horrible customer services, glad you were able to make your own. This looks like it will last :-)
DON COULD YOU PLEASE INVENT THE STAMPING TOOL THAT A FRONT AND BACK CLOSE ...WITH YOUR STAMP ON ONE SIDE AND YOUR PAPER ON THE OTHER...DON;T WANT TO MENTION THE NAME BECAUSE EVERYONE IS GETTING YELLED AT IF THEY MAKE ONE AND POST THE INSTRUCTIONS... THE ONE YOU MADE IS ALMOST LIKE IT EXCEPT IT HAS A DEAP LEFT SIDE FOR FOAM AND MAGNETIC GRID AND A SHALLOW MAGNET ALSO PAPER ... THE FOAM IS REMOVABLE SO YOU CAN STAMP WITH ACRYLIC AND FOAM MOUNT STAMPS... THEY ALWAYS LINE UP AND IF YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH INK ON ONE SIDE OF THE IMAGE YOU CAN JUST INK UP THE STAMP AGAIN AND JUST CLOSE THE RIGHT SIDE AND IT WILL DEPOSIT THE INK IN THE CORRECT PLACE... LET ME KNOW PLEASE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING THIS PROJECT WITH INSTRUCTIONS... CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY THE MANUFACTURES ... SO EXPENSIVE... REVIEWS ARE NOT GOOD WITH IT BREAKING AND CRACKING... I HAVE PINTEREST JANIS LITYNSKY... I WILL LOOK FOR YOUR REPLY... TAKE CARE..
