Potato Stamps




Our friend baby June turned one year old this past weekend. I spaced on buying her giftwrap and was disappointed with the cheesy selection of Disney princess or Winnie the pooh wrapping paper at the store.




We decided to make our own wrap. We used some cream and yellow construction paper. We also used orange and yellow tempra paint. I used a potato on it's last leg to make a floral stamp. And then Nico took over and stamped away. I found it better to use a cheap pen and draw my design directly onto the spud, pushing in a bit as I drew. Then I went over the design with an exacto.

It was a fun project for both of us, and it hopefully made our gift more special for a special little girl. Happy Birthday June!
