I read a neat trick for making sponge stamps in Parents magazine this month ...

You cut a shape out of a clean sponge and hot glue gun it to a laundry detergent cap. It makes a nice size handle for little hands!

I made one yesterday (very quick and easy) and you can see it in this post.

Now I'm just waiting for the next laundry jug to finish up!

Dawn -- this is a wonderful idea! I've been saving the measuring cups from the BIG spigoted detergent barrels and now I can make a few of these. I wonder if there's a way to dehydrate the sponge to make it easier to cut and then rehydrate before gluing onto the top????

VERY nice job on the bags ... and you can get the little ones pretty inexpensively at the craft store .... sounds like an outing today!

Throw them in the dryer to dehydrate. Spritz with a bit of water to rehydrate.
