I am sharing a super simple way to make some fun DIY Stampers that are perfect for gift tags, holiday cards, thank you notes, or to just let the kiddos have some fun! My small people helped me make these and yours can too! These can also be wrapped up my Santa Sack Gift bags for a fun gift for a small person or someone like me who loves paper products :)
Supplies Needed:
- Wooden Pegs
- Foam Stickers
- Stamp Pads
I picked up the stamp pads and the foam shapes at my local Dollar Tree. The wooden pegs I had left over from my Miniature Nativity Scene. You can pick some up at Hobby Lobby too!
This is really easy…remove the sticker backing and stick to the bottom of the wooden pegs. Voila!
I like to use the pegs versus bottle caps because the larger peg seems to be better suited for small little hands! It keeps their fingers out of the stamp pad and gives them better control over where their stamp goes. So if you have a little perfectionist like I do, the pegs really are worth it!
You can use any foam shapes for different seasons or even alphabet ones! So many options!
You can use your new stampers to decorate your holiday cards!
Or even for some DIY Gift Tags.
Or just let your kids have fun! Mine decorated some envelopes for my holiday cards…they are very festive {wink, wink}

This is SUCH a great idea! We make foam stamps using recycled bottle lids all the time, but I’ve never thought about using our peg people as the base. SO much easier for their little hands to stamp with! I want to go make a ton of these right now! Thanks for sharing :)

Haha! Jeska, I understand printer problems! I used an inkjet. A really, really old Lexmark inkjet from college!
