Dampen the leather (I find it cuts better and it needs to be done for stamping.)

Cut circles from tiny leather scraps by placing punch on leather and then wacking a few times with the mallet.

Then center leather stamp over circle and pound a few times with the mallet.

Let Dry.

Stain.

Let Dry.

Have fun gluing to cuff-link blanks, thumb tacks, magnets, ribbons, earrings, etc.
