Because we live in a land of potatoes, potato stamp hearts on newsprint. Used as….
Wrapping paper!
I thought this little project was especially appropriate since we live in the land of potatoes. I can never get over how many different kinds of potatoes there are to choose from! I’m not sure if rooster potatoes are the most suitable for potato prints, but that’s what I had and he was starting to grow shoots and looking pretty sad. So voilà, a happy use for him!
Here’s what you do (in case you can’t remember back to kindergarten!).
Chop a potato in half.
Use a pen to draw the shape your stamp will have.
Using a paring knife, cut around your shape.
Dip in paint or use a brush to cover the stamp with paint.
Stamp on newsprint, newspaper, or any other kind of paper and use it as pretty wrapping paper!
And that is officially the end of my Valentines inspiration for this year. I think, at least. Don’t quote me on that. There’s still a week to go!
