How to Make Potato-Stamped Gift Wrap

 Instead of purchasing a roll of wrapping paper at the store, bring your kids around the table to make custom hand-stamped paper with potatoes and paint. This old-school craft project is still a great way to get kids involved in the season of giving.


Materials Needed

white potatoes

metal cookie cutters

knife

cutting board

acrylic paint

1/2" flat artist brush

colored, white and brown Kraft paper


Create Potato Stamp

Using a sharp knife, cut large white potato in half (Image 1). Press metal cookie cutter firmly into potato half (Image 2). Next, cut around cookie cutter at about 1/2" depth, so the potato portion inside cookie cutter will protrude 1/2" to create the stamp (Image 3). Remove cut slice of potato around cookie cutter (Image 4) then remove cookie cutter from potato. You now have your completed stamp.

I've moved 12 times, including internationally and interstate, and sometimes twice in one year.

This will include the things you will need till the very last minute, things you'll need to access first in your new home, and committing to decluttering as you go.
