For Christmas, my mom gave me this really cool paper punch.

I was excited to use it, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to use it for 🙂

That is until I made all of these…

18 bars of felted soap!

Once they were dry, I needed to tag them with ‘something’ so I could write the scent of soap and price.

I had a box of stamps, but I didn’t want to use a plain, square piece of paper…

then I remembered my paper punch and went to work.

I love how this particular punch has scalloped edges…it looks like a wooly sheep!

Once I had a bunch punched, I stamped them with one of my favorite stamps…

I found this stamp on Etsy awhile ago and I was sad to see that the shop has closed 😦

If you want your own sheep stamp though, I did find this one…Custom Sheep stamp.  I also found this stamp that says Handmade By.

I used a piece of yarn and voila – my felted bars of soap are tagged, priced, and ready to go!

If you want a truly custom stamp like this one…

you can order one fairly reasonably through Rubber Stamps.  They also have self-inking stamps that you can customize with your contact information. 

The punches can be found at your local craft store and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. 

Happy Crafting!
