2822-EH HALOS ABC Stamp Kit ("captioned")

3101-FH HALOS ABC Stamp Kit (with numbers)

4101-K HALOS ABC Print Kit (just handshapes)

4102-K HALOS ABC Print Kit ("captioned")

Kit contains:
1 rubber sheet with set of alphabets
1 piece of HALOS loop tape
1 1" x 2" or 3" x 3" HALOS Mount
1 piece of clear 3" x 3" hook tape (optional, only in Print Kits)


Needed: pair of sharp scissors or X-acto knife

Note: instructions show the captioned ABC, but instructions are same for all HALOS sets. The abc print kits with 116 letters and numbers are very close together (see photos), so you need to be extra careful when cutting. We recommend an adult do this.
Kits may come with either black or clear hook and loop tape; both work the same.


1) Peel paper off back of HALOS loop tape.

2) Put the rubber ABC sheet on sticky back of HALOS loop tape to make a “sandwich”. (You can save the rest of the loop tape for other stamps.)

3) Cut carefully around rubber letters.

4) To use: Put selected letters on hook tape part of HALOS mount. Press firmly to make sure the rubber die will not move around while stamping. Use extra care when inking and stamping very small stamps. You can also use the smooth side of the HALOS mount with cling mount systems.

The included piece of 3" x 3" HALOS hook tape (print kits only) can be stuck on the smooth side of the HALOS mount if you do not plan to use it with cling mount systems. You can also put it on another piece of scrylic or wood for another HALOS mount.
Your stamps are now ready to use! You can usually stamp an entire word at once (with the 26- and 37- letter kits). You can also combine other rubber dies to make a design to stamp at once. Great for cards or scrapbooks!

With the 116-letter print kits, you can stamp entire words and sentences at once using the 3" x 3" acrylic mount. The HALOS hook strips on the included mount are about 1 inch apart. If you would like the lines of letters to be closer together, try stamping twice. Put the first, third, and fifth lines of letters on the mount, then ink and stamp. Re-arrange the letters to make the second, fourth, and sixth lines, and stamp between the lines you already stamped.

You can store your ABC stamps in a bag or stuck on hook tape strips in binders or folders to save space. If you have the 116-letter print kit, we recommending cutting out only the letters you need right now so you can easily find them again.
Acrylic mounts and rubber dies can be easily cleaned in the sink. Just wipe dry and they’re ready to use again!.
