Potato Stamp Art

Posted By on September 24, 2011

Today, I will share another artwork. This time we’ll be making “Potato Stamp Art”. This is one of my favorite art project and actually, our Shamrock potato stamp art was featured in About.com last year. It’s very easy and you can do it for less than 15 minutes.

Yyou can use potatoes of any size and any variety. With a little creativity, the lowly spud can be used to make decorative prints that can adorn personalized gift cards or decorative gift wrappers. Get a potato and cut it into half ( with pencil or any pointed material like a small knife), outline your design into the raw surface. You can start of with some simple designs like a star, a fish or even a clover leaf.

Now using that small knife, cut around the outline of the design to a depth of 1/4 inch and then cut the background of the shape it self. For colors, you can use water colors , which you can mix with a little water. Just dip or spread the color with brush and apply it to a suitable surface. Start Stamping!!
