Anybody ever seen a rubber stamp with a whistle on it or sticky labels with whistles on them?
No, but I have seen a whistle with a sticky label on it. Does that count?
Selkie,
If you want to make your own rubber stamp:
get a linoleum block cutter (Speedball makes them) with a number one and number two blade (two smallest), draw a picture of a whistle on a Pearl or Saunders brand eraser (remember that stamps reverse the image in direction and color) and carve out the eraser wherever you don’t want color, leaving the image of your whistle like a relief carving, use any ink stamp pad, and voila. You might not like your first product, but this learning curve is cheap. Have fun.

What a brilliant idea. Only problem is that I have limited fine motor skills and cutting out things is not one of my best craft skills.
I’m not sure what you want to use your sticker on but if you make a photo copy of a black and white drawing of a whistle (or whatever) that copy can be used as an iron on transfer on to wood. Could be used on fabric to but you would need a setting agent on the fabric.
Selke,
You could find a whistle graphic or drawing you like in computer format. Then, using a wordprocessor or label printing software, print the graphic out on blank labels. You could make a sheet of all the same label or mix abunch togeather.
Wonderful options! Here is my contribution.
Polymer clay can “transfer” images to its surface,including colored newsprint. Once the image is transfered,bake in a common oven at 275 degrees to produce medalions, broach pins etc. with whistles on them!
Transfers of “copier” images(asphalt based toner)work best and some brands of polymer clay work better than others but the stuff is realy cheap! Black and white “clip art” of whistles are good starter art and can be found at most bookstores.

I used to cut a lot of stamps out of erasers with linoleum-cut knives. It is not very hard because the erasers are soft. So I recommend you try it. But if you do remember to always place your hand behind the blade. In other words, never cut toward your hand, always away from it. Trust me on this one.
